Welcome to blog number 5, this week we were asked to refer back to the Wizard of Oz and think about a moment in my life that allowed me to travel into my heart. Each Wizard of Oz videos, If I only had a brain, heart or Nerve, Meeting the Wizard, and You've always had the Power gave me the inspiration to give a little bit of a lead way to where my narrative will be heading. Enjoy ! How does your narrative allow you to travel into your brain (mind) then and now?
My narrative allowed me to travel into my mind because when I was starting to write I thought about the loss that really hit me and it also allowed to really think about how I was feeling that very when I found out that I lost someone that was very close to me. It also allowed me to really dig into my mind and think about where my mind was before this all happened. What shapes our sense of identity: Life events or the stories we tell ourselves about life events? Life events we tell ourselves can change over and over again because after it happens, the life event is a memory that lasts forever in a way that no one else would understand unless it was written down in a journal. Our identity is shaped from the life event. Thinking about self identity, watching the Wizard of Oz videos it made me thing about what Dorthy's identity truly was. How does your narrative enable you to re-examine the power (agency) you have in authoring your life-story? My narrative enabled me to re - examine the power for me to authorize my life story because it allowed me to open up my feelings and express how this event in my life truly changed my life in a way. It changed my life in a way that is hard to explain but my life story is still going on and this event did change my life forever. How does your narrative meet the nerve (high-stakes) element of meaningful storytelling? I believe that my narrative meets the nerve element of meaningful story telling because when wring this piece it allowed me to go into my heart and mind to find a meaningful life event that impacted my life. IT wasn't easy to realize that meaningful storytelling will allow you to write about the meaningful relationship you had with someone in you life that is now gone because of a decision that they have made. How does your narrative allow you to travel into your heart (emotions) then and now? My narrative has allowed me to travel back into my heart then and now because when the life event of a death of my best friend happened i was emotionally drained the day I found out. Now that its been 7 years after I still remember that very day but not as much detail as I did before because after thinking about it after a certain amount of time you just want to think about the happy times that you had with the person and not the day of them being gone.
