“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold;
they change the world into words.” – William H. Gass
My fifth blog will be about my first draft of the narrative project. Our instructor asks before writing this blog to watch three episodes from “Wizard of Oz”: Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had The Brain, Heart, Nerve; Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard; Wizard of Oz: You've Always Had the Power. In this blog, I have to give a response from present to the past situation that I described in my narrative project through the prism of the brain (mind), heart (emotions), and nerve (high-stake).
BRAIN. What was I thinking at that point??? I knew that guy a little bit more than one year and nevertheless, I easily agreed not only to marry him but also move with him who-knows-where. I trusted him in past and trust him now even more. I know I did not make a mistake in the past. HEART. In the past, my emotions were responsible for that decision. I was deeply in love with my fiancé. Of cause, some warning about parents and how they would accept this all was in my mind. Now, I am totally happy that my decision. NERVE. My friends always tell me that I strong and brave, crazy brave. Marry with a guy, let him adopt a son and go with him beyond the ocean… And to do all these in six months, anybody needs a brave. Today, I know that I would do the same if time to reverse. I was in a couple of years after a hard divorce, living with a little son in my parents’ house. What kind of future could I have? I think, at that moment decided to marry and move to Canada were exactly what I needed. RE-EXAMINE. In the past, my power was only in consent or disagreement to the propositions. I knew my fiancé would go anyway to Canada. I have never dreamed about immigration, but I have dreamed about a man like him. Today, if beliefs to my husband, I had power in that situation. He confessed he would wait for my positive answer. WHAT SHAPES OUR SENSE OF IDENTITY: LIFE EVENTS OR THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES ABOUT LIFE EVENTS? I think that life events shape our sense of identity. What happened to us or our loved one make us human being. Life events change emotions, feelings, and even point of life-view in a particular situation or people. Stories what we can tell to ourselves or s are not always true and can be different depending to whom we are telling them.

I see you used mind, heart, and nerve to organize this post. I wonder if you will use the heart, mind, and nerve as lenses to review and revise your draft? How did it take nerve (guts) to write this story for yourself as well as to share this story in a public context?
