Abstract
In writing this paper, I have maintained that the actual act of writing is an important means for reflecting and revising the paradox of one’s privileges. It helps to put one’s self—especially one’s private and day to day thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions—on the line for personal and public scrutiny.
