Georgie Jackson Per. 3


There were many great insights pointed out in this article, stuff that we may know subconsciously, but had not thought about. I liked when she said “Through writing, we discover deeper truths about what we want, who we are, what we value, and the stories that we tell ourselves.” If you think about it your greater ideas, plans, goals and accomplishments all have been those that you wrote down. Another thing that stood out to me is how writing was related to feelings and truth, I had never thought about that before. She brought a lot of things to light, and I could relate with many of the things she stated in this article.
