Cold

A ripple for every moment

Frigid sky scattered here and there. Shadows watch mountains who are not easily scared. Snowflakes fall as time stands still, while sun's warmth trembles under the treacherous chill. Depths run thin as the ice grows, and blue meets white in the blue shallow. Everything covered perfectly in a blanket, one that is cold and doesn't need to fake it.

When I wake up, I am already trying to make someone's day. I know it sounds stupid, but it's true. I need to feel like I'm making a difference. I am always thinking about my family and friends when I wake up. It is just who I am. If I'm just waking up, not even thinking about something or someone, I am wasting my time. Everybody needs to feel like they are wanted, cared about, loved. Even if it isn't said to them every day. Show those people you care. Make a difference in their life. Trust me, there is nothing more beautiful waking up in the morning with purpose.

I just watched March of the Penguins. I had stayed away from this movie because I was told it would be stupid. Sure, it's about penguins... but if you watch the first 5 minutes of the movie you know there is something more. Love. I hate to say it, but you can learn alot from penguins. Determination, perseverance, faithfulness, love. When everything around them wants to keep them from living and surviving, love keeps them going. Love keeps them living and striving to bring new life into the world. Can you say that? Can you say that when you wake up everyday, you are going to love no matter what? No matter what the price, even death?

I watched Spiderman 2 again a few days ago. Each time I watch this movie one part hits home, it is when Peter Parker says, "Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams."

Movies truly are an amazing thing. You could say they are fake, a gross misrepresentation of reality, even stupid. However, I find myself impressed. Sometimes a movie can be so real we cry, we laugh, we worry, and we remember. I'll admit, sometimes a movie feels like it was written about me. That is how real it feels sometimes, and those are the movies you never forget. Maybe movies are just Hollywood, just a waste of money, or liquid crap on a flat screen. But you can't say they haven't touched you in some way. If you believe in them, they can be so beautiful, so amazing, so perfect. Movies... are just plain wonderful.

I have had an interesting twist of feelings this past week. I thought I knew what I was doing and where I was going, but now I'm not so sure. I've tried to follow my heart but I feel like it is taking me in the wrong direction. I don't know quite what to do anymore. I know I will find my way. It just takes time and patience. I just feel so alone now, I feel like it only can get worse from here. However, I know better. I know there is someone, somewhere... waiting for me. She is probably thinking the exact thoughts I'm thinking right now. For now... I just need to be steady.
