In Emily Dickinson’s era, women’s status in society wasn't largely valued. Marriages were often decided by families but not the women herself. Emily Dickinson had lost two men in her life because her family didn't approve the marriage. With her nature of reclusiveness and her lost of two loves, she started to give up her social life and focus on writing poetry. She became pessimistic about life that she stayed home and lived a boring life. She felt like no one understands her and she was isolated because she wasn’t normal. Without receiving happiness from other people, she became negative and that quality reflected in her poems.
When I am depressed, I become pessimistic about my life and future. Getting low scores or being scolded made me feel bad about myself. But I learn to move on. Sometimes I would watch some funny video clips and try to forget about the pain. And then I would keep on working. In some points of my life, I actually felt the same way the Dickinson felt. Since I am not an easy-to-know person, I sometimes feel isolated in a society. The old me would just want to run away and go back to my normal life. However, I learned to change myself to fit in the environment.
