Our Way of Emotions and Expression

Today is the day I will explain what I think about emotions and expression, which play many important roles in our daily lives. Right now I wonder how I can end up in this shitty position of confusion and loss of proper thoughts. I could always take back the words I spoke aloud like a prayer, but that can not be done nor would have I done that because I meant every word I said. I will always stand by my words. So these words, ‘feelings’ are always finding a way into my life especially when I least want them in it. Sometimes I wish emotions would just fade away. Thinking like that never helps anyone. If we had no emotions we become just like glass dolls. Emotions, expression…all of it are part of our lives and a way to see the world from many different views. Visa Versa emotions help our expressiveness, but to express we need those useful emotions.

The strength in ourselves defines our emotional levels. Balanced emotions are like the painting of perfection. The truth is the possibility is limited, to have balanced emotions can be hard to achieve because as humans we are all flawed in some way, which includes emotional balance. To achieve this one must find balance within them in life and know how to control their own feelings. I recently read from “Health: The Basics” by Rebecca J. Donatelle on Psychosocial health that there is certain dimensions or qualities of a well balanced health social person. However even with all that there is still unlikely that we are faced with some quality to improve on. As a human being, emotions need to learn to be controlled properly, just like we need to write correctly.

Think upon how artists and writers describe their world. Their depictions of the emotions are expressed through colors, images, words or poetical sentences of deepest meaning. For being an artist emotion, love of art is required if they wish to gain any success because what is art without real passion? Nothing but emptiness? Through painters they describe through pictures of facial expressions or the postures, even just with color tones. Sometimes emotions can be drawn out from something more.

In a writer’s world it holds certain similarities to that of a painter. Their tools being vocalized words written out. The position of the words can set the foundation of character emotions. Writer’s face the challenge of being able to describe the scene, the appearance and the ideal feeling (dominant feeling), plus something deeper into the pool of that feeling. They can express the character’s confusion that is facing a whirlpool of emotions. Sometimes they even describe emotions by giving inanimate objects human personas. Another type of writer who I consider the master of the art of expressing is the poet. They face the challenge of having to make their emotions or story into forms of poetry that can be read and understand by others. Position themselves for the responsibilities of knowing the poetry forms and rules in which they attempt the flows of emotion into writing.

Emotions and expressing is a challenge because not every person can do it properly and some can. People don’t always have the vocal tools or mind set to stably show how they really feel. Everything in life there is a challenge and we must face it with no fear.

Third Day of My Csun Experience

I will record my thoughts on my third day at the University of Northridge. I will express my concerns without hesitation as to what seems real to me on this. Here, I sit now at a desk lost to the world of Gender Women's study, though honestly I could careless about this class. I see it as something bigger for us women to view a broader spectrum for the future. Though this class is of little interest to me, does not mean it will not later on in its own time mean something to me. It sheds light on the struggle anyone can face themselves. To know our own history and what we went through as a whole gender has its importance for us and for all. People could find this little fact funny, men take this course too. It may show them or of their thoughts, maybe it's something bigger. Assuming could not survive without knowing what the other is thinking because the boundaries of the mind. The capacity to expand thought into others or even consider trying to read others thoughts is ridiculous.

Eight minutes until the beginning of class, the room is full of students and yet there is little sound. It reminded me of the silence in a movie theater and watching and waiting, expecting something worthwhile. It's nice to the extent no one is annoying me, but it is also a tad creepy.I find it completely eerie to be on in here with no voices or the echoes. I can not even imagines voices ever bouncing off the walls earlier. So far introductions was what we have accomplished within the hour I had been in class.

This calstate school system could be improved because it has been falling. Freshmen are being told they can only have four classes. The semester's tuition is up and students can not get all the classes they need. They can not transfer into another class so easily anymore,but instead they have to go into a class and sign up on a waiting list that can possibly have something up 10 people already on it. So right now there is a since of limit. This is a problem because it involves all the cal state colleges. Plus they are not allowing in the same amount of students, and intend to lessen the students they take in Spring. The school this year is testing out its new schedule, which can be not well planned. the expenses some students have to face and commuting to school can add more money and make it difficult. Some in my case have to get up early and go to the bus station and take two buses to get to eight o'clock classes. College is proving to be harder then said by those around me. Not classes are the challenge, but having to get up early and commuting to Csun and being able to afford it. Being able to buy my books and other school supplies.

As for the class it has taken a turn for the better. We have begun a discussion on Feminism and the negatives within it. How the negatives are not correct, but miss given information. Thinking about college and this gender class might not intermix well.It is my thinking of life, it does have a significant connection. Without feminism in the 1920s we wouldn't be able to vote or maybe not be able to attend college. I can say the teacher was right or will be. GWS will and can be applied to any job assortment. I feel it is useful after I go out into the real world. To be honest for once I would want to try and make everyone's life easier at Calstate because of all the class cuts and waiting lists plus the tuition costs going up.
