"I am in exile. Like everybody else, I live in a world that is given to me - I am thankful for it. "
- Paul Goodman
Language reveals who we are. We do not feel different until someone makes our difference known to us.
How have individuals mislabeled you? Make a list of words that you do not feel "at home with."
Write about the kind of exile you feel.
How do you use words to take charge of your life?
Recall a moment of difference when you felt like "other" and write about it.
Consider the way you are "at home" or not at home in words.
