Lolita

         As a requirement for class, we were assigned to write a paper about a person or event that has influenced our lives. The person I chose to write about was my aunt Lolita. It is very easy to explain why my aunt has influenced my life but, finding away to present her in an artist way while writing this paper is tricky. When writing, we have to pick a tone, audience, message, mood, etc. and its all good but of course I would like to be crafty with this paper, however it is very tricky (at least to me). For some people, this is an easy and effortless task and sometimes I feel that it is the same for me when I write papers. I guess its just the anxiety of knowing someone is reading and critiquing your craft and potentially not like something that you've worked so hard on and love. It sometimes feels like little by little we are being conformed to think and write how other people prefer us to write. But again, who knows?, that's just how Shayla's Complex Mind operates.
