Taping Reruns
So I haven't been faithful to most of the other blogs i've put up but for writing's sake, I need to at least make an effort right? I hope to make this a frequent habit though. Writing IS a practice and it does require dedication, it's just that it is hard for me to put down words other from making it a story. As Sophia once said to me, "You're life always seem to have drama" or something like that and well yeah, sure, I look for it or piece it together, maybe even thinking that my life is one big movie or at best, a comic book.
So what's with the drama?
Maybe I just grew up on it. I grew up on stories told by book, tongue or show and yes, I do see that my life somehow revolves around intrigue and drama and I'm just playing my part. So I find myself somehow in-between. I'm in-between reality and fiction. I may be breathing the air God's good earth has provided yet my mind seems to say otherwise instead, it suggests that it's all just a show for some other cosmic being to watch.
I say, life is how you see it. For me, it's all a reality show complete with cast. It makes every detail more interesting and I don't know, a certain quality to life. Life tends to get boring for most people but I rarely find a dull moment in anything.
So why write?
When I'm gray and old, I want to know that I had a time in my life that I had this fond appreciation that most people cease to acknowledge. Age will take its toll on me one day, I know and perhaps (hopefully not) my great zest for this play will run itself dry as it goes day by day just as how we grow tried of tv shows. One day, the final episodes will run and so, I just hope I have enough to watch the reruns.
