Now with that being said, while watching and listening to Brian's Ted Talk I began glancing around my room at different objects. Knowing that all of these objects I obviously SEE everyday but what is something that I really don't see. Something that I pay attention to everyday without actually paying attention to it.
Once I started thinking about that, immediately I went....BAM! --- My Candles of course <3
To just put it out there, I am addicted to candles. Bath and Body Works specifically. Candles are all over my house and especially my room. So I see them everyday. I walk passed them. I stop and check to see how much is used and if one should be replaced. I light them. I blow them out. All of these are usually daily rituals for me once I am relaxed at home. However, it is an object I constantly see without realizing how much I see it.
In reference to Brian, you can read a visual text quicker than you can read an actual text. I took a moment to look at my candle and analyze it. First few things that came to mind was relaxation and scent. I also made meaning out of my candles. In my everyday world, my candles represent the time that I am ready to chill out, relax and watch T.V. I light my candles every time I am ready to climb in bed and turn on my lamps, pour a glass of wine and watch something good on TV. It represents relaxing....and peace :)
