Jealousy

You know... I've always been jealous of William Shakespeare. He is the BEST play write that has ever lived. His sonnets are just beautiful! 
One of my favorites is:
Sonnet 20

"A woman's face with nature's own hand painted...."

Shakespeare had a way with words. There are parts of this poem that just make me melt. I just hope that my husband will write things like Shakespeare's sonnets and read them to me all the time!

"Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth."

It's just that William Shakespeare was a brilliant man who could turn a phrase. He knew exactly what he was talking about when he wrote is plays and his Sonnets. He was just good at what he does. I wish that I could write things that were as profound and and timeless as Shakespeare's words. 

  "...But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure,
   Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure."

Thank you William Shakespeare for leaving behind the most brilliant and inspiring writing that has ever been put to paper.

Feel Free

This is for the single moms with 2 jobs and no car.
This for the the people who hate their jobs but tolerate it because college is their dream.
This is for the musicians working from their bedrooms trying to produce something great.
This is for you.

FEEL FREE

This is for the widower who doesn't want to disappoint his children.
This is for those teenagers who have lost a parent, and longs to talk to them about their horrible day.
This is for the people who can.
This if for you.

FEEL FREE

This is for the people who think they can't.
This is for the watch makers who can no longer stand the sound of the ticking clock.
This is for the people who never had a good relationship with their parents. 
This is for you.

FEEL FREE

This is for the people who look in the mirror every morning and find every flaw instead of their beauties. 
This is for the older brother who has 3 jobs to try to provide for his little sister. 
This is for the women who have ever been hurt by any man.
This is for you.

FEEL FREE

Feel free to branch out. Feel free to take a leap of faith and do what you need to. Feel free to take charge and change your life. Where will life take you if you can't free yourself and run? 

                                                                    Feel free... And run.

I Keep Forgetting to Remember

Lately, I've been forgetting. 
The number of things my mind trails behind my head...
I keep forgetting to put my shoes on in the morning
Sometimes it's just one shoe
What does this mean?

Will I forget everything about myself?
Will I forget you?

But as I remember questions, something else leaves my brain
Taking things in takes other things out
It's almost like a light bulb as it cools down
One thing stays in my mind always
A question
A single question
Will tonight be the last time I'll see the light?

I always start to cry... And you're always there for me
You try to calm me down
You ask me questions, and I try to remember them...
And I try
And I try
And I try
And something clicks
My mind remembers
Just one 
"When will we own ourselves completely?"
That question gave me strength
It became louder and stronger in my mind, and I started to remember
Remember
...Remember...
.......Remeber
Remember what?
I keep forgetting to remember


Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone

The Hero's Journey


Ordinary World: Harry Potter's ordinary world is the world he's grown up in. The house he grew up in with his Aunt Petunia , Uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley. 

Call to Adventure: The letters. One day, Harry is having tea with his family, when suddenly, the house erupts with letters; all addressed to Harry Potter. They come form every where. Including the chimney. Another call to adventure is when Hagrid show up at the cottage on the island and tells Harry directly that he is a wizard, and that he is enrolled at Hogwarts. Another call to adventure happens when he finds out about the Sorcerer's stone. 
Refusal: Although it's short, Harry doesn't believe Hagrid for a minute, and almost doesn't go. But he does in the end.
Mentor: I think Harry has 2 mentors. Starting with Hagrid because he helps Harry through the threshold. But, later, Harry meets Dumbledore, and Dumbledore helps Harry through trials. 
Threshold: Harry crosses the threshold when he crosses the barrier in King's Cross to get to the Hogwarts. Symbolic, no?

Test, Trials, Enemies: One of the first trials and enemies Harry meets is Draco Malfoy. Malfoy really makes Harry's life a living hell from the very beginning. Is there a reason? No, not really. Malfoy is just a jerk. Harry meets the Potions Master: Severus Snape. Snape makes it very apparent that he doesn't like Harry, although, the reason isn't made clear. He makes Harry's life a little harder as well. 
Voldemort. Voldy has been a threat to Harry since he was born. In fact, he is the reason Harry doesn't  have a mom or a dad. He murdered Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry when Harry was just 1 year-old. He is also the cause of the whole big disaster that happens as Harry starts and finishes his first year at Hogwarts.
Approach: Harry, Ron, and Hermione find the location of the Sorcerer's stone and find the entrance blocked by a very big 3 headed dog. But what else is under that dog?
Ordeal: After getting through all of the chambers, Harry finally meets with the person who has been trying to kill him all year. He's surprised to see not Snape, but Professor Quirrell, and he's not who he seems to be, and he's not alone. He shares his body with Lord Voldemort himself. 
Reward: Harry is rewarded by getting the sorcerer's stone, and he kills Quirrell and Lord Voldy evaporates into nothing.
Return With Elixir: Harry's bond with his friends and his mentor are strengthened because of trials he's gone though. 
The End!
