Day 10 - Weekend

I finally overcame my writer's block this weekend. I had an issue with the book I was writing and was so unsatisfied with it that I have up on it for a little while. After a new app update that I initially didn't like, I suddenly had a strong urge to continue writing, to fix my book. Upon research, that's exactly what the app company wanted, to instill the urge to accomplish things. Like how my desire to travel to Lake Worth, Florida is backed up by my loving mother! This weekend was very nice :)

Day 9 - The Color Purple

With Celie on her road to self discovery, she becomes more and more of her own person. She helps with the development of Mary Agnes, becomes intimate with Shug, and plans for the release of Sofia, who works as a maid and rarely sees her children.

My self discovery will come with age, I think. There are many things I look forward to in the future, and I assume that once I am finally satisfied with what I have and with what I can do, I'll know who I am.

Day 8 - The Color Purple

Celie told Shug of her past and her pain while alone together one night. She has been able to explore herself and her relationship with Shug more than before. Initially, her affections were more hidden, but after Shug showed her reciprocation and more, they became further bonded. It gets more and more difficult to see their relationship as anything other than romantic-wise instead of anything else. I find myself eager to see what becomes of them.

I felt more like a leader today. True, I don't have many of those to lead, but those who feel true passion with what they do are the ones who I can rely on. As a person looking towards the future, I plan to treat ever scenario as if there isn't an ending, but that everything is a beginning.

Day 7 - The Color Purple

I wonder what makes people realize the err of their ways. Is it contemplation of their actions? Having to be told of what they are doing? Or is it seeing the change in the people they are affecting? Seeing the looks on their faces go from light and peaceful to dark and shut off to protect themselves from the blows of insults?

It must be their own selfishness that blinds them. As visible as pain can be and how strong the pang of regret is, what exactly stops a person from noticing what they are doing? What makes it difficult to be observant?

Day 6 - The Color Purple

I wonder what it's like to live comfortably. In which all there is to worry about is what I'll do for fun tomorrow. Is it even possible to be in that blissful state? Where, even if you aren't thinking about the things that stress you out, you're stressed? The constant bags under your eyes and never-ending worry over your future and survival. Wishing you could go to sleep and wake up feeling refreshed for the first time in your life. I can't help but be patient though. I have a life ahead of me - maybe I'll one day reach that state, for that's my goal. To one day wake up and feel truly comfortable.

Day 5 - The Color Purple

Celie has finally been showing some of her strength, despite the fact that Mr. ____ has been needing it. His love of Shug Avery and the degrading words of his father has made him into the older version of Harpo. Maybe he was like Harpo when he was younger, desiring a woman that has a hold over him and loving her despite everything.

I was floating before
Nothing pulled me down
My body was weightless
There was no ground

Then you appeared
And I was anchored
I was confused
And I couldn't be franker

I complained
And spoke my mind
But you didn't listen
You just smiled

"Come with me"
You said with mirth
And before I could stop you
You fell face first

I was scared
And watched you fall
But then I followed
I haven't recalled –

Falling with you
You and I are one
Our story has just started
And will never be done
