[Taps mic] Hi welcome to my ted talk.
So. Let’s talk white rice! It’s basic, blank, sort of something intended to be added on to, yeah? People are like, ‘at least put soy sauce on it or something’. But for me, I just like it plain!
Back when I was still in high school, they’d let us go off-campus for lunch, as the building was downtown and surrounded by lots of local places that offered takeout. One of these places had white rice – the really good, restaurant kind.
So, every day for lunch on schooldays, for four years… it was white rice and pepsi! Which does sound a little… concerning in hindsight, but I was a teenager – and I don’t think any teenager makes wise food choices. But it was a routine, and something that sort of became ‘my brand’.
But… why the ‘lucky dreamer’ part? What’s that got to do with anything? I doubt that kind of rice even actually exists.
As said, white rice is sort of a canvas, and I am an artist. Dreams, both during the day and those I have vividly during the night, are of great importance to me! My headworld, which fuels all of my creative work (and has for the past 10 years), is an embodiment of this.
The ‘lucky’ portion is mostly because I’m sorta superstitious, and hold value in good luck charms.
As a final note I couldn’t quite tie in properly to my mini-essay: Rice is also a sort of… bonding point, particularly between me and my grandmother, who is Chinese. My family would often order from a place her father used to own when we’d visit, and we still do! Unfortunately, a variety of factors had led to her having to ‘hide’ her heritage for most of my life – with her only recently starting to share more and more.
So they’re sort of dedicated to her in a way! Purple is her favorite color, too.
I am the lucky dreamer, and this is my rice!
