This entry shall be dedicated to my feelings towards a recent assignment in which I related my home to Charlotte Perkins’s short story The Yellow Wallpaper in which they were my yellow wallpaper.

In this assignment I realized that I had to really rationalize my emotions and make them make sense. I wanted to justify my reasoning and hopefully it was in my writing. It is hard to put down feelings of discontent and have them understood by others or at least in a way in which it is justified.

After my first draft was submitted and reading others I realized I wanted to provide a light at the end of the tunnel. I wanted others who read my story to see that there was a way out and having that objective I showed myself that it is possible. I enjoy relating lessons learned to my own life and learning from that experience.

Happy reading,

Ashanti
