2015 was a year of progress for me because I finished my MA (the writing bit anyway) and "old bottled up anger" seemed to have vanished slightly during the year. However, I had several run-ins with people during 2015. I am making a special effort to allow 2016 to be a year of healing and moving on (totally).
I live in the UK and taught in a school for eight years. I came to realise I wasted my time and this school, like many others throughout England, is quite corrupt and unpleasant. I lost my soul so to speak between 2006 to Dec 2012 and therefore became an acid tongued and bitter person.
I had experienced a situation that but me in this position during my high school years so I admit that I have been carrying around a lot of negative energy. This year, with some sacrifices, this will change.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
