Why do I like the things I do?
I must surround myself with beauty to feel beautiful myself 
Why can beauty not simply be a reflection of myself?
Why am I drawn to reminiscing?
I must know everything there is to know about myself
Like a child with a curiosity
Why can’t I look at myself and my art the way that I look at other people 
and their creations?
Like a little girl with no judgement
Does consuming unnecessary things feel human to you? 
Like a little girl with a pretty rock to bring home to her mother 
Why do you feel the urge to collect?
If something is beautiful, I must own it 
Like a little girl with a rock in her pocket
Is ownership ever completely ownership?
Does the thing not also take a certain ownership of me?
Why do I collect the things I do?
I see beauty in many things, most of them because they remind me of 
myself
I am an eclectic person; I feel the need to collect and present Like a little 
girl with many rocks
