Inside My Mind
What are the differences and similarities between a passport and a book, in terms of both physical appearance and what they contain or allow you to do? In what ways to they allow you to participate in other experiences?
Expand on the metaphor and remember, write as much as you can in the ten minutes you have.
To my, there is a huge difference between a passport and a book. A passport is a legal document that allows you to travel within and outside of the country. A book physically can’t do that. A book is writing, of any genre that can be taken with you when traveling. A similarity between the two can be that they both take you on trips. A passport takes you a literal trip wherever you desire as for a book, it can mentally take you on a trip. A book won't have a specific destination but it can surely take you away from reality, especially if it’s a good book. As for physical appearance, a book can range in many sizes. From the number of pages to its length. As for a passport, there’s really one size for all. It’s about the size of an iPhone max and it’s no thicker than about half an inch
How important is the photograph to your paper?
With all of this, you might want to also think about and respond to considerations like, "Who took the photo?" Where was it posted or where is it kept?
I think I’m my case, the picture and the words i use work hand in hand. the picture itself speaks 1000 words because of how “extreme” the picture is. on top of that i think the words i used to describe it not only describe the picture but allow for the person ready to experience what’s happening without having to be there or experience it themselves first had. the picture isn’t that important. i only say that because my story is essentially a first hand experience. so the picture is just an addition to the story that i was writing about.
How is everyone's head space? How are you compared to where you were a year ago?
What do you do for self-care? Is there any way I can help?
Feel free to reach out privately if there's anything particular you need me or want me to know or I can connect you with someone.
I am just genuinely exhausted. Both physically and mentally. I feel like I need a long vacation away from everyone and everything lol. I feel like, during this time, I’ve been trying to help everyone and kind of let myself slip away in a way. I find myself more productive than last year for sure, but I do find myself drifting away at times and sometimes it becomes difficult to bring myself back in. as for self-care, I recently destroyed my old bedroom and got new furniture, repainted and got a new mattress. my room definitely feels likes my new safe haven and I feel like it’s helped mentally. it’s something I owe to myself. the get rid of the old and in with the new mentality, so that’s helped a lot. but for the most part, I just need a long vacation. away from social media, away from people, away from the city, away from school. there’s nothing I can ask for to help this feeling because I’ve felt like this for a little over a year now, but I know I’ll get over it. just have to keep my eye on the prize.
