Redesigns

My room had been the same for ages, and the dominating feature there used to be Donald Duck (aka. Aku Ankka in Finnish) comics: posters on the wall and a big shelf full of comic books.

Though most of them are not there anymore.

^{I still have more of some misc Donald Ducks, but almost all the poketbooks are in this picture.}

The only reason for the shelf to exist was to fit all the comics in there, but I haven't read a single book in years – at this point they are just a relic of my past hobby, which was to collect those comics. But priorities change by age, so now is a time to finally get rid of them. Then, I can also get rid of that bulky shelf and replace it with a smaller one and have a bit more open space in my tiny room.

I also did some decorations, like changing my old curtain that I've had as long as I can remember.

This was actually a left-over from my mother's moving that I got to keep, and I would say it is much better, even though the pictures are in a different lighting – the design is just really nice.

Furthermore, the posters I mentioned – I did take them away a while ago and left that drawing alone to the wall above my bed. This drawing has kind of an interesting history, because it was sold by some Polish artist who was going door-to-door selling his(?) drawings (I don't actually remember for sure whether it was a man or a woman).

There is a signature there, but I'm not exactly sure what it says.

Davek Wy...something-ykovski? I don't know... somebody who's familiar with Polish might be able to tell me.

For years I've gone without much paying attention to my environment – my room where I spent a lot of the time – until recently when I've realized that having a mess around me might contribute negatively to my inner state (or maybe it's a reflection of one's inner-state – I think it goes both ways).

Reminds me of @galenkp's somewhat famous quote:

"Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default"

I find it to be a pretty good quote when thinking about it, because as people, we have the power to design things with conscious effort, create order from chaos, if we so choose. The opposite option though, while being lower resistance, might not end up being that fulfilling.
