In my
personal essay I focused on trying to write through one of the paradoxes that
exists in my life right now. Writing out my thoughts and feeling about things
is not a new thing for me. It really helps me process my thoughts. This time in
particular I felt like it allowed me to untangled my thoughts and view them
side by side. What I thought was paradox, became a lot more connected as I
looked at them in this way. I felt like I could reconcile a lot more of it. I
still have questions, but now I feel like I have an idea of what to look at in
order to find answers. I didn’t feel like it was hard to be bold in my writing.
One thing I do find myself doing though, is sometimes I try to resolve my issues
to quickly. I don’t allow myself enough time and space to reside within the problem.
Thats cool that the things you felt paradoxical became more connected throughout your writing. I find i have a similar problem with quick fixes. This one made me ponder a little longer.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you weren't afraid to be bold and that you have an idea of where to find answers. While writing isn't the perfect cure-all solution, it allowed you to look at your thoughts with a fresh perspective.
ReplyDeleteThat's really awesome that your writing helped you to find reconciliation between some ideas. I think writing can definitely help us to realize things we hadn't before as we give words to our feelings. That's so cool
