Every time I am getting ready to answer a Do You Mind question in class, I use this sort of repetitive, routine-like thought process to get to my answer. First, I re-write the question down in the notebook so that my brain has enough time to absorb what the question actually is. Next, I brainstorm some ideas for a possible answer, and after I get a few possible simple answers, I choose the one that I am most interested in. After that, I sort of blow the answer out of proportion and make it seem really meaningful and detailed to the point where I convince myself that it is the best answer I could come up with. It sounds weird, but all of my Do You Mind questions have these crazy answers that are unique to myself and my own life experiences. They might sound made up and extremely exaggerated, but in reality the core of my answers deal with my unique experiences.
I think it's really interesting how my brain can take a simple thought and add on various layers of detail and experience without really having to think that hard about it. It's interesting how my imagination plays such an important role in my thinking process because it shows how much of a kid I am on the inside. I use my imagination and exaggerate things as if I was still a little girl and it's really cool to see how i'll always have this young, vibrant and enthusiastically playful person inside me. For the time being, I wouldn't change a thing about my thinking because if I were to do that, I wouldn't really be myself and I wouldn't get to imagine and create the beautiful thoughts that I do now.
