Discovering the joy of selfexpression from "summary" of Knots in My Yo-Yo String by Jerry Spinelli
As a kid, I didn't know much about self-expression. In fact, I didn't even know what it meant. All I knew was that I liked to write. I liked to put my thoughts down on paper, to see them come to life in black and white. It wasn't until later, when I grew older, that I realized that writing was my way of expressing myself. Writing became my outlet, my way of making sense of the world around me. It was through writing that I discovered the joy of self-expression. It was through writing that I found my voice, my unique way of communicating with the world. But self-expression isn't just about writing. It's about finding whatever it is that makes you feel alive, that makes you feel like you're truly being yourself. It could be painting, or dancing, or playing music. It could be anything that allows you to show the world who you really are. For me, it was writing. And as I continued to write, I discovered that self-expression wasn't just about communicating with others. It was also about communicating with myself. It was about digging deep into my own thoughts and feelings, and bringing them to the surface. In a way, self-expression is a form of self-discovery. It's about exploring who you are, and what makes you tick. It's about embracing your unique perspective, and sharing it with the world. And when you find that thing that allows you to express yourself fully, you'll find a sense of joy and freedom that is truly unparalleled. So whether it's through writing, or painting, or dancing, or whatever it may be, I encourage you to find that thing that allows you to express yourself fully. Discover the joy of self-expression, and let it guide you on your journey of self-discovery.
