I’ve started this blog reflection with three different
sentences and erased them, and I’m not sure why. I am so distracted right now.
Someone really important to me was here for the weekend and I just had to say
goodbye to him. It was extremely difficult and I just want him to come back. I
should probably stay on task now that I’m starting my Sunday homework fest. I
am also feeling a little sick to my stomach which is definitely not helping me
what to do homework. But here goes…
I am going to reflect on the WID from last Thursday. Lacy
showed us this website called www.wdydwyd.com
.WDYDWYD stands for “Why Do You Do What You Do?” It’s this site where I think
people can post different things on that answer the question. People post
pictures, videos, stories, and just a ton of other things that could help
answer the question in a way that other people can observe and understand.
While Lacy was scrolling through the website, I decided that
it might be easier to just go to the website myself, so I did. I found a few
that I thought were particularly interesting. There was a post that was a
picture of woman holding a sign that said “because I can,” and to me, I really
love that. It reminds me of the freedoms we have as Americans. We have the
freedom to express our feelings, just like we do in these blog reflections. Freedom
of speech allows us to say whatever we want and feel which I appreciate the
most out of all our freedoms. This sign makes me think of personalities, and
how personalities are a way we express ourselves. Who would we be without our
personalities?
Love this post. I'm sorry to hear that youmiss the person that just left. :( I know how that feels. I loved that website too. I agree about what you said about its meaning. who would we be without our personalities? good question.

ReplyDeletePreach it! Lol #teamAmerica. As soon as I saw the "Because I can" thing it instanly reminded me of our freedoms and we can do whatever we want...except we HAVE to do homework, but besides the point. Oh and I like how you just type your mind like I do. :)
ReplyDeleteOh ~connection~ it made me think of a lyric from Not Afraid: "I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing this for me. So..." you know the rest.
I love how I can hear *you* when you reply, Bryan :)
DeleteI spent about 30 minutes on that website and there is a lot of inspirational things. I think it is cool that someone took the time to create that website. I'm sorry that you had to say goodbye to your friend.
ReplyDeleteKelsey, I really liked the meta way you started your post, talking about how you started the sentence over and over. I think that really disrupts the idea of writing, as polished and finished.
ReplyDeleteI also love this post! I love that you are talking about America and how we can do what we want because we have freedom. I love how you compared it to the blog post.
