Daisy Willows
Hi, I'm Daisy, (I read advice on how to write a; They can't resist wanting to know more. The first rule is to keep it short). Ha Ha! What a little rebel I am. I'm not one to fit in a box (claustrophobic alert ). I'm a regular jean size or tall. I am not short of things to write about. My interests are diverse. I love to know about everything. My blog predominantly works in a stream-of-consciousness form. This type of writing comes naturally to me. I have BPD, an eating disorder, abuse problems, and bipolar disorder, a husband and a teenage daughter, and two cats -I struggle with intimacy & make a habit of not resenting that I'm not a cat. My blog helps me make sense of my life, thoughts, and my emotions. Trying to find concrete categories for my blog is mind-boggling due to my writing style. Stream-of-consciousness writing is fragmented - like my mind: a collection of unfinished thoughts, emotions, ideas, and unclear memories. I have huge gaps in my memory. My writing is raw, unedited, unrevised, honest When I write freestyle and use free association, memories often pop into my head, helping me to make links to reoccurring themes in my life. Hopefully how my experiences and my mental health issues have informed my beliefs and sense of who I am. I have a terrible sense of identity. I find that my writing is often an attempt to find out who I am. It is a space that inspires personal growth. I write to understand my beliefs, my values, and my interests. I write about how I came to be me. What informed the person I am today. My goal with my blog is to revise and tease out the best / most relevant bits in the hope that my writing and narrative become more coherent. I hope to have a more stable and consistent identity. I enjoy writing about Music, relationships, therapy, recovery, and relapse. I have a Postgraduate in the humanities -majoring in mythology in the Greek &roman world, and creative writing. I have an acting degree. I'm currently evaluating goals and values, so it helps my personal growth. I'm on a mission to find my new purpose in life. READY to join me?
