Why is it called Peeling Object ?
Honestly, the name wasn’t something I planned—it simply appeared in the moment. After deciding to start this blog, I thought of the contents, choosing sections, what I want to share, and my goals for this blog . . . But the name? I didn’t think about it until WordPress prompted me to choose one. In the exact moment, “Peeling Object" surfaced in my mind. A quick search confirmed it was available, so here we are.
More importantly, this name perfectly reflects what I experienced these years. All that I’ve learned, and facing all the changes happening in the society and the world, I’ve felt like I’m peeling away layers – shedding old beliefs, societal expectations, and self-imposed limitations… Now, I have more clarity about myself, learning more about who I am so that I can becoming more who I am, the process is still going on.
My goal for this blog ?
This related to my dream. When I was young, I didn’t know much about this world, how the society work ? civilization ? economic system ? . . . and I don’t understand why we have to work like a machine to earn a living ? When I was about 8, one day, I fell ill and stay home from school, after some talk with my father, he said : …you have to work for living, work is hard, but this is how things worked, you will understand when you grow up … then, he leave for work. At that time, I didn’t know his stress or burden. Feeling sick and tired, but I couldn’t sleep anymore because I had just woken up, so, I watch TV. At that time, my favorite show was National Geographic. I loved watching the leopard family lying on the huge Serengeti plains, basking in the sun and feeling the wind, with butterflies fluttering around them…. although I knew their lives were hard and dangerous, that moment felt so peaceful and happy.
And suddenly, I’m thinking, “work is hard?" “this is how things worked?" is this the only way ? I know we have to earn a living, but at least we can do it a little bit more happily right ?
At that moment, I have an inner voice saying “its not true, it can change…". Since then, I often think about what I can do if I want to make a change ? And after sometime, as a ten years old, the first answer I got was “cartoons". But I didn’t take this answer seriously because at that time I have no idea about how to write a story, how to draw it and make it into an animation although I can create story easily when I play with my toys.
Many years passed, I learned a lot of things through growing up.
To be continue. (have to work now…)
