Journal Entry # 7: MY MATERIAL SELF

 My Most Prized Possessions





These are my most prized possessions: my gadgets for online studying, my grooming/hygiene materials, clothes, and my pet dog!


Reflection on my "Material Self"

Seeing these possessions I have, I realized that my material self has a message for me to convey. It reminds me that I am so blessed by God. Not only do these reflect who I am but also manifest God’s love for me.

I learned to accept these things I own as an extension of myself – especially my pet dog. My collection of clothes makes me feel satisfied while my grooming items attend to my most cathected body part – the face. Probably, losing maybe one of these stuffs I had will make me feel like something is missing in me.
