The other day I was in Campus House, and I was talking to my friend, Hannah who had been reading my blog. She suggested that I write a poem or something for a post. While I may be a metaphorical person by nature, the whole rhyming thing is not exactly my cup of tea. But her comment gave me an idea!
I have mentioned before that my thoughts are organized in clouds. My thoughts are independent of one another, but sometimes they intersect or split off. My mind is constantly jumping around among all of the clouds that float in my head. Well, I figured that a tag/word cloud would be a great visual representation of how my mind works.
I went to a word cloud generator, here and typed in the text field at the top. Basically I just sat at my computer and typed everything that popped into my head: full sentences, fragments, simple words. The image below is the result of my self reflection exercise, which lasted about 30 minutes. The larger a word is, the more often it appeared in the thoughts that I wrote down.
