I saw the movie Inside Out. I enjoyed
learning about emotions and memories from Inside Out. I watched some nonsense
movies recently. This one was alright but not as good as Big Hero 6. There are
five competing emotions in the character Riley’s brain. They are Joy,
Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear as personified. They compete to make memories
for Riley. Memories form islands of meaning. For Riley, these include
loving family and hockey. My acceptance of my autism is an island of meaning
for me. Lots of emotions and memories have built it. Pain and sadness are as
much a part of my life as joy. Lots of different emotions are necessary. People
usually only want to experience joy. But people make important memories based
on many emotions. I am able to tell you about autism because I have meaningful
memories based on lots of varying emotions. I am peacefully putting sad
memories away. I made the decision to walk an autistic life and no longer try
to become like a neurotypical person. Peace comes from accepting my path.
I am meaning to make the most of my life. Saving others like me from a life of
insignificance is my mission.

ReplyDeleteNice review, Phil. Have you ever thought about writing a play or something fictional, Philip? It could be a useful vehicle considering your insight and perspective, and you tell the story of your own life so clearly and effectively in the written format. Nice work again kiddo!
