This is an AI-generated image that is meant to represent me. It's a creation of my imagination, reflecting what I envision myself to be and what I'm working towards. I used an AI image generator program called Leonardo.AI, and I have created various interesting and inspirational images like the one above. Initially, these images were intended to inspire myself, but lately, I feel compelled to share them with others. The image also symbolizes the forces in existence that I believe support and watch over me. It doesn't represent all of them, but rather the more prominent and influential ones.
For the past two months, approximately, I have consciously made an effort to wear all white. White cloth holds significant meaning on multiple levels. While all colors are special, some argue that white isn't a color at all. They claim it's the absence of color, as I have heard mentioned many times before. Regardless of the factual basis, wearing white as clothing or adornments poses a challenge—keeping it clean is quite difficult. Well, I wouldn't say it's any different from other colored clothes when it comes to collecting dirt, but it's more noticeable when worn. Other colors have a way of concealing the filth better, to put it humorously. With that said, I made a conscious decision to wear white in order to deliberately become more aware of my own actions and choices.
I don't think many people are as self-aware as they believe. I discovered this through a week-long experience of wearing nothing but white, from the moment I start my day until I lay in my bed. It's a challenge. In fact, I'm planning to create the "all white challenge" after this post and share it on social media. Not to seek views or anything of the sort (although that would be great), but to encourage my friends, family, and supporters to navigate through life with greater care.
There is a lot more to this personal transformation, but I don't want to come across as preachy or delve into religious discussions that may push some people away. It's a combination of various factors. At my job, a younger student approached me last week and asked why I was wearing so much white. He noticed my different attire when I was assigned to café duty. I had to quickly think of a way to explain to a second-grade student why I was doing this without going into too much detail and using as few words as possible. Then it hit me. I explained to the young child that I was striving to be more mindful of my actions throughout the day. I am learning to be more attentive and cautious because white doesn't conceal your mistakes; they will be on display!
So, to all the people I encounter—at work, outside, in supermarkets, at events, live shows, and during tours—I, V, am making an effort to tread more carefully in the world. I didn't expect that simply being mindful of my steps would attract so much attention from the people in my daily interactions. It seems that my actions hold some level of importance, given the interest they generate among the circle of people I engage with.
