Now I find myself in a city where I don't know anyone. I find myself in a new job where I "write" for a living (albeit not the kind of writing I'd prefer). I find myself unsure of who I am and what my true passions are. There was a line in a movie this morning that shook me. "It's never too late to become what you might have been." It was in the film Away From Her. I immediately started thinking about these words, and what they mean to me. I'm not sure, but I know that they are the main reason I decided to come over here and start blogging.
The funny thing is that it's not the first time a movie quote has really taken over in my life. For years, when i was a bit younger, I followed the advice of a quote from the movie Legend. Embarrassing, I know. It was, "The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity." Go ahead. Read that again. I am struck with how similar the quotes are, and by the fact that they are saying the exact opposite of each other. Maybe that's the difference in youth and maturity.
I won't always write about writing. I'm not planning on blogging about movie quotes, either. If this will help me to actually write, I just plan on actually writing.
