My mistake
I found I made a huge mistake. I attempted to write a paper over intimacy and communication. I now realize it is impossible to actually really understand intimacy from a piece of paper. Intimacy is something personal on every level. Without a personal connection, it is quite impossible to truly convey your point. I should have presented my point. I feel with visual cues I would have actually been able to discuss intimacy on a deep level. Intimacy is a wonderful emotion that is very easy to understand, but it needs to be personal to describe. I do not feel I was any where near being on the academic level able to truly put intimacy in words, and I am not sure anyone is! I wish I was able to instead of write a paper, I was able to record a video message. So much more could go into that, just with having the visual of facial images.

At least you understand that you weren't able to effectively present your point. This shows that you truly understand it! I can relate; I have tried to write a paper about the different types of love and I wasn't very successful. Some things are just better understood visually or personally.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I am not the only who has experienced this. The paper took me FOREVER to write, and it just did not turn out as I wanted, but maybe that is just what makes these emotions desireable, complexity.
ReplyDeleteI think that every student, at one point in time, looks back at their writing and all that echoes through their mind is "WHAT WAS I THINKING!"
