The Blessings of Fandom

No matter what people say Fandom can be a wonderful thing. There are those that roll their eyes at our ‘fan girl speak’. There are those that do not understand why we ‘ship. There will be some that don’t understand why we write, create and generally immerse ourselves in a show. These are the people we should pity. They will never know the blessings that fandom brings.

Fan Fiction:

For those of us that create fan fiction, our favorite book, show, or movie gives us ideas for other great stories and scenes. It takes up beyond the place where the original creation stops. We use it to fill in gaps, rewrite what we can’t accept, and take our favorite characters on journeys. Fan fiction is our daydreams in print to share with others.      

Fan Art:

For the fan artist, creating graphics and original art inspired by characters is our way of paying homage to them. No matter what the medium, we create more of what we want to see. We extend the visual image of the story and with that image a story in itself. Fan art is our minds eye at work telling a story with an image worth hundreds of words.

Community:    

In fandom, there is a sense of community. We gain good friends that we would have never had otherwise. Our friends share our hopes dreams and desires. They read our fan fiction view our fan art. They are from different countries and speak different languages. They are old or young and male or female. They are the ones who feel our pain and share our joy. They are the true blessing of fandom.      

People that are meant to be together always find each other in the end.

Call it destiny or fate but there is a truth about the heart that no one really wants to acknowledge. Love is a strong pull that brings two people together. Hearts beat in the synchronized rhythm calling to each other. It can be heard over time and space. It is cosmic and undeniable at the same time.

There is someone for everyone. It may not be the person that is expected. It may not even be the person we want or think we want. It is the person that is meant for you.

Fate pulls these hearts together without the consideration of race or gender. Traveling over miles and time the heartbeats call to each other beckoning the two people to find each other.

When they do the bond they form is the strongest and most unbreakable there ever was. The depth of emotion that it encompasses is vast and awesome.

These are the lovers that fall in love at first sight. These are the soul mates that stories have been told about. These are the true believers in love fate and destiny. These are the ones meant to be together.

What is a Revolution?

1

A revolution is an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed. This is usually con by a conquering force or an uprising. History shows us that this is effective but never completely stable

2.

According to ‘Sociology’ a revolution is a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence. This is more a grass roots started movement. There have been several examples of this in recent times. Arab spring is one that comes to mind.

3.

A revolution can also be a sudden, complete or marked change in something. the example given is the present revolution in church architecture. This can also be seen in the conscious of people. When the realization comes that their life is not what they want, then a personal revolution is in order.

4.

A revolution is also a procedure or course, as if in a circuit, back to a starting point. When I hear this I see a race course or a running track. I also see something revolving around a fixed point like a record on a turntable.

5.

But a revolution can simply be a single turn of some kind. It is true that what goes around comes around thus creating a revolution of its own kind.

Coffee And Chocolate

Coffee wakes you up and gives you the boost that you need to make it through the day. Some days you need more coffee than others. Some days you want less. It all evens out in the end.

Chocolate is just as necessary as coffee. Some would argue it is even more so. It makes your brain happy and a happy brain is a productive one. The darker chocolate is the better. Darkness equals happiness when it comes to chocolate.

When you combine the boost of coffee and the happiness of chocolate magic happens. It is the best and most productive combination in the world.

We should all consume coffee and chocolate as often and as much as possible. We would all be happy productive people. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Remember To Love Me

I was startled by what I saw on your office wall. It was next to a photo of me. It was a yellow sticky note.

Is that what our love has been reduced to? A reminder scrawled on a sticky note.

Why must you be reminded to do something you once did so easily? Have I changed? Have you changed? When did this happen?

There are so many questions that have been brought to my mind all because of a sticky note on your office wall.

You loved me once as easily as breathing. I loved you that way too. I still do. 

For now use the sticky note to remind you of me and what I once meant to you. Someday the glue will dry up and it will fall to the floor and be swept away.

I remember when you would be swept away with passion for me. It has been so long now that it is a distant memory. A feeling that once was will be gone.

I have left another sticky note on your wall. It says: Don’t bother.

The Girl With The Axe

No one would believe it unless they saw it. She was a little girl with a grownup’s axe. She chopped and shredded the notes like she had been doing it for longer than her short life. Some people call that an old soul. She wouldn't agree.

It wasn't her soul that made her play the way she did. It was her heart. She had a heart filled with music. It’s a rare gift for one so young.

Many never heard the music of their heart. Not everyone knew how to listen to the subtle tones within the beating of their heart. But she knew how to listen and how to send the music to your very soul.
