...See more I've recently been reading a lot of Alice Munro. I find it a bit hard to stay focused as there is too much going on in her stories but with help of online guides I'm able to make sense of the work. While I didn't enjoy her work as much I feel more confident with all the study efforts I've made. Munro is a big name in Canada. Are there any Munro fans here? Or anyone (like me) finding her hard to understand?
School days story

...See more Today I want to share a story from my school days 20 years back. I want to put it out here becuase even though so much time has elapsed since, the impact on my mind and heart isn't gone. Basically I was a school prefect. And I had this disorder that prevented me from going to school for many days. As a result of my absence I was terminated from my school role. Now you must be thinking I should have told the school about my problem and gained some form of exemption but the thing is I didn't want my problem to be discussed. I really was very conscious of it. I didn't want to be known for it. I wanted to keep it secret. Now all these years later I still feel the loss of that position. Becuase deep down I know I was hard working and did most of my job right. Only a little bit was impacted because of my absence. And that too if I had been brave to accept my problem I could have discussed with the principal. Today I have that kind of courage but back then I didn't. Also keep in mind the principal was very ill mannered so that created in me a fear. I felt that I couldn't talk to her. Now please tell me dear friends how do I move past this? A part of me feels that I should let go as it was my destiny. But the incident has really put its fangs on me - I kind of worry that I'll fail again because I'm perhaps not smart or lucky enough to succeed. Another part feels I should go and talk to the principal. Ofcourse time won't come back and I wont get my position again but at least she will know I wasn't in the wrong, I just was conscious of my condition. But then again she might still misbehave as she did then. And it might be a futile effort on my end. I can't say. What do you all say? Any ideas or words of encouragement would help.

...See more I am an aspiring writer. Every time I think of writing something, my own life tales pop up. Perhaps I could write a memoir. But it feels I'm too much self obsessed that way. I want to write some fiction. But I have no idea where to start with that. So far ive only written diaries and some online content. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

...See more Hi friends I need some help with respect to finding a career path for myself. All suggestions are welcome and requested for. I have a bachelors degree in English Literature. It's been 10 yrs since I graduated. In these years I did some small jobs like content writing for financial, IT and media industries. They didn't pay much and when I got bored I left. A lot of time also went by harboring self doubts and anxieties. I enjoy reading books of fiction as well as self help. That's what I'm doing at present. But wherever I go, I get asked about my profession and it feels embarrassing not to have one. I also realise I have to start earning even if it's not an urgent need. My mother wants me to work from home on content writing but I feel genuinely bored with it. My father doesn't support jobs - it's an odd culture thing. So I'll have to convince him if I have to leave home for work. I'm considering counseling. I genuinely care about people. But I'm not sure about my ability to handle pain. I think I could be a good primary school teacher but I don't know if I can sustain my interest in it. I can't afford more education at the moment. Maybe a diploma is possible but a master's degree isn't. I really want to find something meaningful instead of something forced because I believe the drive to work comes naturally when you find something worthy or of interest to you.
