Common questions by Natalie Plaza

Are we part of common people? Who is different from whom? How much do we know from ourselves? I am pretty sure that those are common questions that have many answers. Let me take the last month of our lives as an example of them. What have we done that we consider different from others? Go to Las Vegas or San Francisco? Enjoy Disneyland or Sea World? Those things are very common, I think.

Perhaps, is it not common for the person who is doing the action. For example, I went to Los Angeles two weeks ago,and it was awesome. I almost felt like a movie star; for me, for my life, for my days, going to Las Vegas made me feel uncommon, and exceptional. But now, what does it mean to me, to my life, to my days? Just a memory or images on my mind? It can be like that. There has to be more than that. Consequently, there are ways to make them be more than just a memory.
Related with it, one of the ways is writing them; this is why I like that many of you are sharing little stories from your lives. But, even though, I like to follow our teacher’s recommendation, write a question at the end, so that it would never end; it will always be there. In that way it will become part of your life.

  1. Yes,I agree with you totally.I believe in our whole life,we'll experience so many thing.Using our minds can not be work forever, we have to write them down to keep it.
    And also it's not about memory, it's our part of our life.

  2. I agree too.
    Sometimes, you have a big dream to have or to do something.
    and when you reach what do you want, after a while, it became nothing.

    The events that stuck in our memories, are usually touch something inside us, that what make it unforgetable. And every small details will be stuck too in your memory, and each time something of these details happen again, it will remind you with the whole event.

    I think I go off on a tangent :)
