In all honestly, I am unsure of what to put in this blog. However, in that same sense, this leads me to believe that I have found some new insights simply by not knowing. I have never been a student that took to losing well; my entire life has been composed of settling for nothing less than par. But this project was never about winning or losing - it was about building something innovative that represented how we feel when the world around us turns to "savage inequality." Our group worked well to all input something, because we all knew how it felt to be that burning man, unequal and savagely attacked until there is nothing left by everyone around us. Being unsure exactly what to say in this blog shows that this is not an event that can simply be written about as much as experienced, internalized, and connected with.
For me, burning man showed me that the simple things I think matter the most like getting A's in classes or being the best will not matter years from now. The journey we take to get where we are today matter the most. In the end, the little fights and the littler successes are forgotten. In the end, we always find a way to succeed even if it is only a change in ourselves that make the journey worth the while. In the end, everything will go up in flames. In the end, we will rise from the ashes and remember the journey we made.
