Writing is not an easy task.Often it takes hours and days.It is also very difficult to find topics.Reflective writing then comes in with the personal self.Our own lives are full of deeply interesting stories.
Reflective Writing is personal.
Reflective writing is mostly on the personal level, of experiences. The themes are the incidents that shape the daily lives.Much of it can be called ‘Personal Memoirs’
I find my writing mostly about my own self
When I became aware , conscious of the mind and self, my family, friends and place, I found out that I was a Born Refugee’
My birthplace was in another part of the world torn by strife, war, rape killing kidnapping and murder in cold blood.I believed I was in safer pastures.
I found love, love of family, language and literature.I had a good school, but I moved around , by, besides and with a faith of The Lord.I was a student at at a Girls Convent.The best school of the city.
At home we had prayers by congregation and I discovered it was a different perspective belief and actions.I was a Born Muslim.
I write about emotions
I found love and friendship in people.So my faith was The People and Human beings.I learnt kindness, sympathy and forgiveness.
All I knew that if I did good I would be rewarded and if not I would be punished but that was what happened everywhere.
I found out that I was a Human Being female, though many thought that I was a boy because of the name I was given.This name is usually meant for boys.Well,I was carried across barbed wired borders to a new country and so life began.
Personally I enjoyed life, my parents were enthusiastic and had a positive attitude.School over and the world changed-WAR- WAR and WAR and still going on-I an ordinary citizen became part of a warring community and life started moving around bomb blasts, kidnapping killing murder in cold blood.
Who am I?
I reflect, now, I found Human beings suffering hungry, crying, begging, they still are-where is the Good Teaching? The Good Thinking The Good Learning-or are we destined to be punished?
I reflect…..

One will feel good about honest writing from ones own thoughts
