What is this all about?
These exercises are meant to help me feel closer to my dreams. I wonder if they work for others too. Having attended Qi Gong workshops, I thought one could combine body awareness with emotional well-being. Some people write poems; others sing in the shower. Whatever makes you stay true to yourself.
About
I am working in the publishing industry, and generally just trying to live a life. At some point in my life, I thought I had my shit together, and I felt I knew what my heart really wanted. That is when I put these exercises together.
Actually, confusing ex-relationships, an office job, and world politics gone mad can make you forget your dreams just as easily as all the patriarchy combined. Claiming your heritage, I believe, is one of the nobler things you can do.
Acknowledgements
I enjoyed the life stories of LGBT people collected by the interviewers of I Am From Driftwood. I also liked the online project A Lifetime of Secrets, where people are invited to write creative and very personal postcards. Likewise, I have great respect for what Brad Gooch did with his book Finding the Boyfriend Within.
