PRESSURE
I started thinking about all the time pressures I had set on myself. All this guilt and suffering and it’s all my own doing. Or is it?
I'm Tricia Lee. Some labels I and others use to label me are Asian, Canadian, Director, Writer, Filmmaker, Woman, Female, Over 30, Living In Hollywood.
​
Language is our way of communicating, but it’s also our way of labelling. Ourselves and others. I want to stop and take a closer look at the words that define my world and see if they still serve me. If so, I want to know what they really mean. And if not, I want to discard it from my vocabulary and perhaps find a replacement.
Almost every word has more than one meaning. I will only include one definition with each word, the one that speaks to me or the one that I want to write about. If you use the word differently, you can always google the other definitions.
​
My idea is to write one entry every day for a year. Three hundred and sixty-five thoughts about words that hold such power over my life. Three hundred and sixty-five deep dives into the essence of each word.
