I watched the vow tonight. I enjoy chick flicks. I heard someone explain once, "cheesy chick flicks are like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket." I like that, and kind of agree with it. I also love sappy love songs and sunsets, maybe I hung out with my mother a little too much as a child or something. Anyways, the movie really got me thinking. Who am I . . . really? If I were the girl who suffered the brain trauma in the movie, would there be a common space I would move into? In searching for that answer, I have been looking through this blog and seeing what things have stuck out to me and inspired me. One thing I found was this quote; “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” What is my originalNESS? The root of that word is origin. So, when I was a kid I was a crazy friendly cowboy with lots of energy. I wanted to be just like John Wayne, but is that origin the real me? I don't know if I honestly have any originality in me. The person I am today or the person I feel that I am today seems to be just a hoarders warehouse of stolen ideas, beliefs, manor isms, clothing, etc. . . I look at people I admire and to ideas that I agree with and let those things mold me, but what is the medium being molded. What is the true me? I don't know if I know.
