Writers Dreaming

3.)    Talking about bad dreams or bad news or other bad things does give them too much power. Just thinking about them gives them power, they can haunt you or hang over you all day everyday if you allow them to. That is the only way the have power over anyone. When you have a nightmare it generally will fade away and be forgotten if you just stop thinking about it, but if you decide to tell someone about it, it usually sticks with you for a while after that.

5.)     I personally feel I could live without talking for several years, I don’t talk much now as it is. I’m not shy or anything I just don’t talk too much unless I’m required to. If I talked less and listened more not much would change. I might notice more changes in other people, I might notice of someone else is more quiet than me.

6.)    I’m comfortable using both English and Spanish. I would love to be fluent in Chinese or Japanese. I have family that lives both in China and Japan and I know it’s cheesy but I think it sounds cool. I do not agree that speaking English is enough because we live in America, why should everyone else have to learn our language because we’re too lazy or lack the effort to try and learn ours.

7.)    I’m the kind of person that can remember the exact conversation i had with you 2 years ago, but not remember what I ate this morning. I can also recognize your face but if I have to put a name to your face I’m going to fail miserably. I think it is a good thing for me not to remember much of anything, because there's a lot that I’d rather not remember. The fuzziest times of my life are when I’m young and there a couple of months from about 2 years ago that I can’t entirely remember, all I recall when I try to remember was that it was not a good time in my life. The clearest times are all my good memories, I put a lot of focus into remembering my good days and try to forget my bad days.

9.)    When I need to occupy my small mind I climb a tree or I climb the house. I focus a lot better when I’m higher up, or looking down on the view below. My biggest distractions are my phone or my book.

11.)    I think the older the get it does get harder to learn new things but not because of the age, I think it’s harder because you don’t have as much time to focus on what you want to learn. You might be more focused and not distracted but it’s still hard if you don’t have the time. It is true that younger people or even kids learn a little bit faster. I tutor and autistic 5 year old and he has learned more spanish in the 2 months that I’ve been teaching him than I did when I took a class for a year.
