I just finished reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. It is by far my favorite book I have ever read. Sparks is an amazing writer. I can't wait to start reading more of his books. This one has such a strong message in it. Don't ever let things get in the way of what is most important. While the book is still fresh in my mind, I think about what I am not looking at that is of most value. Is it family, school, love, God... What is it? Maybe it is a little bit of everything. I don't want to waste my time worrying about the little things in life. I want to find out who I am and what my purpose here on this earth is.
I named this blog "The Beginning" because I feel like it is the beginning of something new in my life. It may just be that I am better at keeping a journal or it might mean I am starting to find myself. It makes me think of the song "The Call" by Regina Spektor. The lyrics are:
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And the that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because every thing's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are as you head of to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
and follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now, we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
So now I feel as if I am back to the beginning. And its this feeling that only I have. Whatever this beginning may be for, I hope I can figure it out and do my best to succeed. It is peace and serenity I feel. I think I recognized the feeling by reading The Last Song. It might be that most of it takes place at the beach. To me, the beach is a sanctuary. A place I can go and know that I am in tune with everything. By reading about it I feel as if I am there, hearing the waves beat upon the sand while the seagulls fly around and I look out and see the magnificent colors in the sky as the sun sets. That is the reason I chose this background. The harbor. It makes me feel as if my beginning is starting there, at the place that gives me the most peace and comfort... the beach.
