latest thoughts on "The Self" (working title)

So I just started writing my bestie an email when I realised how utterly boring it would be for her. So here it is instead! hehe well it says in the title this is a digital version of a visual diary, I can messily rant in order to sort my thoughts out! It's not as if the net isn't already known for that...

blah blah...
 *ok so im not really sure if i explained this but part of the inspiration for the series which will probably be called "the self", was based on jung (& folklore's) archetypes. Basically there are recognisible simplifications or epitomes of personality traits in people particularly literature & film that are subconciously universally recognisable... but im going in a more Jungian/me style.

* i think ive thought of the subtitle for your portrait if you let me do it. i really wanted something poetic and deep... but something simple just occured to me. "the friend". what do you think? i think we help bring out the greatest aspects of friendship in each other... and its something i value enormously and consider so important... and if its going to be anyone its gonna be you! so thats my latest thought.

* i think for megan ill do the artist/scientist. "They are a builder, an inventor, a seeker, a dreamer, and a thinker. Distracted by their own thoughts, they frequently have to be pulled in out of the rain. They are simultaneously vastly knowledgeable and yet innocent, impulsive yet cautious. They represent the wonder to be found in curiosity, and the dangers.[1]"

*for squeak I'll probably do the "Animus". It's essentially just recognising in him masculine qualities that I probably have in myself.
* I found a photo I took at Nanas on my bday, I really love it but I'm not sure if it will fit in visual style of the series. It's of my cousin and it'll be "the inner child" or something a bit less chessy. Maybe just "the child". I really like it though. There's another from that day that I also like and probably fits more but has less punch, of my nana. She's the best.
