An update on getting personal

I started, and restarted, and deleted, and restarted my personal narrative probably ten times. Finally I decided to just leave all the thoughts and just keep typing, just keep typing, just keep tying. I am probably 75% of the way finished right now, and it still is all a clutter. I find myself discovering new ways of expressing my emotions, and I love it. At first I just thought I had a stupid story to tell, a kind of window into my existence, but now I am beginning to realize how therapeutic writing can be. I decided to take Aaron's advice and start my personal narrative about who I am at this moment and then go back and tell one specific story of what changed me. Of course there are countless stories I could rely on to explain why I am the way I am now, but one surprisingly seems to work. I understand myself more when I am able to create myself on paper. It all is sorting itself out for me, I am beginning to really understand the effects of my experiences in France. This assignment is tough: tough to start and tough to finish. Tough to create an identity and explain myself in only 900 words. As of now I am not finished with my essay, but I am really enjoying reflecting on who I am.
