  Informed

  Rejuvenated

  Compelled

To keep positive Maya used quotes like:

  “Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean”.

  This quote translates, that we are so bitter in life and when we allow ourselves to let the bitterness take over we are so blinded and so far gone that it is extremely hard to open our hearts and eyes to see that the only person being affected by our bitterness is ourselves. Anger on the other hand is only for a moment and it releases everything and cleans up everything bitterness had control of.

Maya’s technique of natural writing connected to:

  Women

  Men

  Black

  White

  Reading any of Maya Angelou’s writings has been the comfort people have succumbed to and have eased their hearts from dark past or maybe a troubled heart.
