" The first draft is just you telling yourself the story." -Terry Pratchett |
This is blog I found it one of my harder blogs to compose. I believe because it felt as if I’m comparing my life story to the Wizard of Oz. Which happens to be one of my favorite childhood movies. Here are some links to three clips relating to the Wizard of Oz Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had The Brain, Heart, Nerve, Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard, and Wizard of Oz: You've Always Had the Power . After watching some of the scenes it was clear to me how my narrative project reflected on the brain, heart, and nerve (emotions).
It allowed me to see my younger self and realize that I was stronger then what I thought I was back then. Even though I was able to get through those obstacles in the past, back then I wasn’t strong enough to write about my story. It appears that the me today able to write down what I experienced.
My feeling back then and now is still quite the same every time I tell my story to someone new, or even someone who’s aware of my past. I still get choked up and tears still run down my face as if it was just yesterday instead of 12 years ago. I don’t think the emotion will ever go away because it was personal, and a huge part of my life involved.
My story goes deep into a time in my life where I wasn’t sure of myself and my emotion were all over the place. I didn’t know if the huge decision I had made was the right choice or even the best choice for my life.
My narrative gave me the ability to write every event, or memory that I recalled to my best knowledge to give my audience to experience it as if they are in every scene beside me as it is happening.
Both, things you go through in life gives you an opinion as well as the stories we hear from others. When something happens to you it stays in the back of your mind. Even when time goes by that same memory will come back, and you’ll remember what you experienced at that moment. Now the stories we tell ourselves or believe may not necessarily ever happen to us in life, but because we have heard it previously from someone else life it may change or even effect how we make decisions in our own life.
