Write Your Life
…So, I stopped talking and started writing. Well, I talk, but when I do I’m just saying things, I’m not really sharing what’s on my mind. Writing, for me, is the spout of a tea kettle, releasing the steam that’s generated by my mind. Without the steam obstructing my vision, I can see into my mind and learn about myself. What’s more- I’ve learned to accept myself…
…If you want to find out who you are, write it. Get a couple composition books from the dollar store, a box of your favorite pens, and start writing.
Finding First Thoughts
How well do you know your mind? I’m sure you’re thinking, “It’s my mind, so I know it well.” But what if I told you that you may have had a thought before that one? You probably did, it was just filtered out before your conscious mind was even able to detect it. The first thought you had could have been anything- it may have had nothing to do with the question at all, but you don’t know. You can’t. You, just as I, have been trained to filter out the ‘first thoughts’ of the mind, as author Natalie Goldberg¹ refers to them. First thoughts are our initial reactions to experiences, and learning to access them is an invaluable skill, especially for writers.
…You’ll never know what ‘strange jewels’ are buried within your mind unless you dig. You may only have to dig down a few feet, or you may have to dig until your palms are bloody and you’re covered in sweat and soil. You won’t know if you don’t do it.
Confined: A Sociological and Psychological Look at Women’s Plight in Jail
This study takes a particularly close look at women who have spent time in jail, and analyzes how their incarceration has influenced them.
One would expect that spending several months in jail would enlighten inmates on how to live a crime-free life. However, this study found that this was not the case for the inmates that were interviewed. This research discovered that the experience of incarceration was detrimental to women: they experienced discrimination and endured de-humanization through a process that I call “utter confinement”- a process that involves physical and mental confinement. This paper also discusses the policy implications of my findings.
