I get this amazing feeling after I tell someone how I truely feel. It is like a great weight gets lifted off my chest. Peacefulness. it's great. you should try it sometime. if you need someone, talk to me. I'm always open to listen.
today in english we did this really great activity where we wrote our anonymous opinion on society, whether it was of the world, or just nequa, or whatever. then we crumpled it up and threw it somewhere in the room and everyone would pick one up, read it, and write an anonymous comment. Then that person would crumple it up again and throw it and someone would comment again. then we would have to get up and find our papers. It was a really great activity.
I learned in English today that not everyone is like me. some people feel intimidated by other people, and therefore do not like to openly share thier opinions. I guess I never realized that other people are sometimes more sensitive than me, and i think it is something that i try and understand more. I guess that is the reason why we would do it anonymously, I wouldn't have a problem broudcasting my name on there in big bold leters, but some people would. not everyone is like me.
the thing i liked most about the activity was that it gets people to think deeper. it gets people to share themselves, and express thier true personality. I really respect when people do that, and you can learn so much from it.
I've thought about it a few times, and Mrs. Derrow my English teacher is SOOO smart. there is so much I learn in her class. she thinks like me, her mind is ALL OVER the place, and she makes random connections, and gets sidetracked easy. i guess that's why i understand her. She's a bit wierd. I love wierd, because i know i'm not normal, and that makes me happy.
