I was really excited, yet nervous when I heard that we were going to be making a digital essay. Excited because I love working on creative stuff; but also nervous because I have never done it before. Before finding a poem to do my essay on, I wanted to first come up with a good solid thesis. After spending quite some time looking for a thesis, I’m still not sure what exactly I will write about or what poem I will use yet. I think that in order to be happy you need to be yourself – don’t let anyone tell you who you are or who you should be. You need to find yourself and figure out what makes you happy, because only you will know. Don’t change yourself to make others happy, be true to yourself to make you happy first. Of course, you’re not the only one in the world, but to make others happy, you need to first make yourself happy. Everyone in the world is different in one way or another; therefore, everyone’s path and journey to happiness also differs.
I grew up loving the sound of poetry, but I never fully understand the true meaning behind the poems I read or hear. I find poetry really beautiful, but working with it for a paper/digital essay seems a bit challenging! We’ll see how things go! 🙂
