Writer's Dreaming

3.Does talking about bad dreams, bad news and bad things just feed their energy; allowing them to consume more power? I don't have one view towards this question. If you talk about anything, no matter how horrible it might be, I believe it feeds the topic in any form. Can't you agree that talking about something either gives it a positive view, a negative view, or even both? We wouldn't have debates or controversies if this wasn't true. In a way I believe that talking about something bad will just increase the negativity behind it, but it could also spark something new; something positive. The more negative outcomes always show up in schools, no matter how hard schools or people try to prevent them. Drama, rumors, and gossip are all centered around what seems like a bad story gone worse, and I believe it to be the outcome of talking about a bad situation; thus feeding the bad situation in the beginning. That's one side to a many sided question.
5. After going through some trauma, Maya Angelou went into a stage where she avoided speaking for five years. Could I go through something like this? The answer to this would be NO. I have the responsibility of helping those who are in need of help, cheering up others with my sarcasm or truth and I enjoy letting myself out through my words. Personally, I think I don't talk too much or too little. Depending on my mood, the situation I might be in or my emotions that day, I talk just enough to let others know how things might be going for me. If i listened more and spoke less then I think I would learn to understand things better, see the other side of things before making a judgement and cooperation skills would be more apparent. By speaking more, I would grow more fond of speaking my mind, I would feel more comfortable with public speaking and I would mature faster I think because I would have to be able to stand up for myself and for my points made.
7. Angelou has the ability to "totally recall" events in her life. Am I like her in that field? I would have to lean more towards the answer of 'no' more than 'yes'. Why is this? I have a hard time remembering certain things, but I easily recall what meant a lot to me at the time and through the years of growing up. I am more of someone who remembers less than more when it comes to less important things, but I remember most things when the event made quite an impact on my life. I think it is better to be someone who remembers most things, because it allows you to look back on those memories whether they were important or not. The periods in my life that are clearest to me would have to be the periods in which I struggled the most. The fuzziest memories would have to be the ones in which little happened. I have better recall of the time I consider more depressing, worrisome or a bit of a struggle.
