Last night I finished If I Stay by Gayle Forman.
It was quick, enjoyable read. I saw the movie when it came out in August and thought the movie followed the book pretty well. Once I got started reading, I wanted to keep reading even through I had a good idea of what is going to happen. There is a sequel to the book that I will have to read. I have to find out what happened! I think my favorite part of the book was how much music played a role. I would even say it was a character in the book. The author was amazing enough to include a playlist of all the songs mentioned in the book. So after I finish writing this post, I am heading over to iTunes to download some music!
I’m feeling a little blue lately. I do not know my place in this world. There is what I want, what society dictates I should have, what my family and friends expect, and then reality. I try and feel that I am getting no where. I have tried different things and nothing seems to get better. I do not believe my expectations are too big, but to be honest I am losing any hope. The only thing I feel I have is Begonia. All she really wants from me is to pet her and lay still on the couch so she can nap next to me.
Should I accept that is enough and be happy?
