have you seen those people who constantly wear the same piece of clothing and you wonder to yourself if that's their uniform? Uni meaning One like they have one piece of clothing and that's it. Clothes more or less define who we are.
It defines our looks and our appearances. It makes us look rich, poor more or less attractive. And that's what I thought to myself as I threw all my clothes into the garage.
I thought to myself, why did I need to put on clothes and live this life to give other people the satisfaction of seeing me a certain way. I was disgusted of the amounts of vanity this world had and given all my clothes but a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans to the garage and decided I would wear this like my uniform. UNI representing ONE. My one piece of clothing and I was going to wear it forever.
Day 3 and I was already becoming bored with my outfit. I work at home doing various things to keep me occupied during my slow hours and all my creative juices had run dry. Cliche after cliche, I would type into my typewriter as I tried various wordplay, none of which worked within it's context. Had these clothes taken hold of my creativeness?
Day 5 and I was having trouble getting out of bed. I laid and as I laid there, I had thought up of reasons to get out of bed, none of which gave me the motivation to. I had looked at the ceiling for the last four hours until I told myself I needed to use the bathroom. I had become aware of one thing. These clothes took away my livelihood. I was a wreck but I was even more determined to stay in these clothes.
Day 25 and I have become the same man as the previous 24 days. A man in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I did my grocery shopping in these clothes as well as mow the lawn and other household errands. My life had magically become a repetitive zone that I was constantly in and I knew that this t-shirt and jean took a hold of me and wouldn't let me go. I knew I had to buy some new clothes and change before all this would come crashing down.
