If things could talk

So how can though details and everyday things make us exactly — US? We pass by hundreds of people on the street, in public transportation, as well as in the work and academic space every single day. While viewing people, have you ever wondered about what message this or that detail of a person carries? If our belongings could talk, what do you think would tell about us?

The star of my article today and the object of my close attention this week was my dear friend — Diana. At my request, Diana told me a story about a detail which is important to her.

Samsung GT star 5230 was her first phone. In some sense, Diana’s influenced her future choice of profession.  Diana received it as a gift at the age of twelve from her grandmother. Since this gift is very intimate to her, she still has kept it in memory of «simpler times» in life.

«Grandma bought phones for her older grandchildren on her first pension, which was a great joy for us!»

As a child, she already showed creative inclinations. With this phone, she became interested in music and video-making.

«As a child, I would be shooting videos similar to the series and films that I watched and tried to put my creative vision into them»

Also, the phone has become a source of inspiration and a tool helping express thoughts in the form of stories, notes, and even «fanfictions». As a music lover, Diana enjoyed listening to the first songs of her favorite artists.

Without realizing it, Diana from an early age expressed all the abilities and character required for future journalists. A journalist has to be much on everything: starting with photo and video shooting, editing and directing abilities, ending with a trained look at various areas of life like art or science. 

I wish Diana to continue to develop and improve her skills surpassing herself!
