I miss you

                   Artist Statement

          This picture of me captures how I’m feeling, you can describe me as happy, sad, hurt, mad, anything. But if I had to say I’d explain why I chose this picture, or why I’m explaining it the way I am. If you could read my mind, I bet you’d be in tears. I’m hurting deep down inside, although it might not look like it, I really am. Its always them days when it’s a good day or a bad day or even an okay day. I have a lot going through my mind. I lost my hero, my number one fan, my dad. How can you lose someone that you were so close to, and expect everything to be okay? It hurts, it really does. I take it day by day but he’s constantly on my mind. I still have them days where all I want to do is break down and cry, but I also got to realize he isn’t in pain like he was before and he’s also in a beautiful place called heaven. I’d honestly do anything to bring my dad back, I wish I could, or at least just have an hour or more to sit down with him if it was an option to explain to him how much I miss him and give him a big hug. But all I can do is think about the good memories we had and look at pictures of him in picture frames. I’m basically in a tunnel, I’m struggling, and stressing… I want to graduate to make my family and the people who care about me and especially my dad proud of his little girl walking across the stage receiving a diploma and saying she finally did it!

                                                                                                                            

                  

                                   Flash Fiction

                            

          He got sick, then he died. The reason I picked that 6 word flash fiction was because it related to my picture when I was talking a lot about my dad. I felt as if it was true, because that same thing basically happened. It relates to him and how he passed away.

He/she says: It hurts, it really hurts. Especially when my daughter found out and saw her dad pass away. She still is very hurt since that day, he’s constantly on her mind and she wants to overcome all her struggles just to make her dad proud of her. She wants to have good grades in school to be able to walk across that stage receiving a diploma and happy that she did it for her dad. She has put a lot of work in to her senior year, so she can graduate on time and be what she wants to be when she starts classes at capri. The loss of her father hurts all of us, we still think about it all the time and it still gets to us every day. We all take it day by day and are there for each other just in case something was to happen to one of us. We reach out, to each other.

They say: everyone says that I need to hold on and take it day by day. And that I need to hold on and work things step by step. Everyone is going to be there for you no matter what the situation might be. They say they have your back and there for you? Are they really? Just like they might say that they care for you and wouldn’t know what they would do without you here. Do they care? Or are they just saying it to just say it? Who knows… but people are there to give you some good advice, and to be there when no one else was.

I say: if I had to say anything, I’d talk about who is there for me and who wasn’t, who would give me advice, and who would give me good advice about it. I’d be specific for who and what I was talking about.

                    

The Personality Myth (Reflection)

          The reason I chose “The Personality Myth” was because that’s what I knew more about. And could talk more about, without it being too short and not okay. In the last 8 weeks of being in perspectives I’ve learned a lot, such as, how to overcome different bias’s and different personalities people might have. We’ve learned how to write a 6 word flash fiction describing what it was about, we’ve learned a lot about annotating, so we could write a journal about what we underlined. We also learned about the whole “They say” “I say” thing which would be someone talking in a different perspective than yourself.

In the invisible podcast “They Personality Myth” they gave some very good details on the different personalities, also they gave good detail on explaining the audio of the 57 minutes that they had. Some people need to realize that attitude changes, but personality doesn’t, that’s just the way life goes. Its always been like that. And it’s always going to stay like that no matter what. Your situation depends on your personality and how you describe yourself, or how other people describe you. Your future isn’t a marshmallow. So, don’t treat yourself like one. Everyone has a different personality and they also describe it different. You should never think bad about yourself no matter how bad it may get. Everything is here for a reason, so you should always make the best of it instead of making the worst of it when it could be very good. Maybe some can answer the questions we may have, I have 2 questions I have no idea about and it would be good if I did. Why do we change our personality when we are in a different situation? Or doesn’t a change in one affect the other? everyone has personalities whether they are good or bad. That’s my reflection and how I based it off the personality myth. (“Personality”)
