but honestly, i've been posting to myspace for the most part. I usually just post things in here that either are very simple and unappealing to myspacers or things I find too personal, things that i feel very uncomfortable talking to others about.
today is one of those days.
this topic is one of those topics.
its the twilight series by stephanie meyer. i know that most of my friends on here like it or at least wouldn't judge me for liking it. i have this odd connection to the series, its like i actually do feel the way either bella, edward or jacob feels. recently though, i've found out I have a terrible habit of this in real life as well. i can remember back when i was younger and my mom would always say "how do you think they feel?", with this concept ingrained to my head, i have this uncanny ability to empathize with others. One strange example was the other day I was driving out of Stone and this coal truck driver had ran the front end of his truck into the creek. Luckily people were already there trying to it out of there, but still i just felt this overwhelming feeling of sadness and repressed anger. I could only imagine myself driving that truck and crying after it happened, yelling at myself, feeling terrible. I could barely hold back the tears. It was just terrible.
Anyways, back to twilight. I can't help but connect to bella on a ton of levels. Other than both of us appearing average, being smart but not a genius, being clumsy and accident prone, we also have more things in common. First of all, we both think of others before ourselves, how she always thinks of renee and charlie when talking about becoming a vampire. Our loyalty to our friends, how even though some do not approve of each other, she still feels so intertwined with them. Another is being so connected to one group of people then feeling isolated once they are gone, much like how i am with my friends. When I'm around them, I fit in nearly perfectly, but when they are gone such as the school week, I feel isolated to the point I want to go crazy much like Bella did in new moon. The fact that we are fearless due to our past experiences, knowing that chances and risks must be taken in order for things to work out the best way.
I don't know. i just love the book and the series. They all make me feel so delighted and happy when I read them. i just hope i can find another series that makes me feel this way.
that's all.
i'm out.
