I was speaking with a colleague about this, and wondering what prohibits me.
It isn’t just a lack of good forums to practice in, but likely due to past losses of self ownership.
I hate to say it, but I was brainwashed alot when I was a kid.
It was not safe nor permissable to be me, if I did not want to be re-targeted.
In my adult life, I can look back and say I’ve done some living. I have interesting resumes to proove this.
But, in each temporary phase, my way of expressing was geared to the type of role I was playing. I shifted personas to accomodate circumstances.
So maybe, I’m on a quest for self identity, and my diversity is expressed as it arrives and develops in my writing – where I can see, take note of, and track it.
Maybe I feel at risk for losing sight of myself.
Writing gives me a sense of security.
