As usual, I'm having a hard time focusing my thoughts, which makes collecting kind of hard, since collections are usually defined by a central theme. Lately, I've obsessed with finding ways to have tangible records of memory, like receipts, so I'll start with that for my collection, even though myself as a collection of memories is kind of obvious.

Rome was so amazing, and Roma vs Fiorentina was the perfect way to cap off the trip. The energy and passion were just amazing, and never have I seen a more genuine public display of emotion in my life. I want to find some way to work it into my receipt collection, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my ticket stub. Or maybe I could go in a different direction, like a collection of people in terms of emotions.

I'm really happy that I was able to let go of my original idea for the bodies in film project and just work with what was happening. Sometimes I get really attached to a certain idea, even if I have no way to realizing it as exactly as I have it thought out, I'm extremely reluctant to let it go. This time, however, I just did it as I went along, and it was pretty liberating.
