I'm reading the Color Purple and I've decided it's not awesome. I like the ideas behind it, but I find it poorly written. Not like I could do any better, but I sure as hell like Song of Solomon better. Its less about the selfish desire to celebrate yourself and more about freeing yourself and accepting others. Or at least thats the meaning I extracted from it. Either way, I love SOS. It speaks to the raging fire within oneself to abandon all inhibitions and set your spirit free. Its a lesson in love and a lesson in hate. It showed me that I have a novel, a personal story; it is interconnected and woven throughout the stories of the people I know and love and hate. My story is their story, and therefore, it is everyone's and no one's all at once. I just want to have an appropriate ending. I don't need a smiling happy family, loved one's back from the dead, and relationships stable, I need an ending that fits. It can be sad, but it can make me happy simultaneously. Anywho, I have to get going preparing for my two AP tests! Talk about biting off more than you can chew(or are at least to easily distracted to chew).
Celebrate life my friends, its the best advice I could ever give.
