6 Word Memoir #3

Memoir #3

As I said before I'm a helpless romantic so when offered the topic of passion I jumped. I don't have many passions and this combines all three of mine. My passions are design, writing, and my love Devon. To tell the truth there was a picture on the wall where my text is now. Editing it was pretty easy, just some quick work with the clone stamp. The words in this one were sort of difficult for me because this one only wanted to be five words long, I had trouble with the sixth.

This one is for my future category. I chose who mainly because I'm a helpless romantic. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year now and I really hope we stay together; that was what I meant by this memoir. I chose my picture because I have always related the sky with my future. The sky is always there and always changing just like our lives and it's been a reminder to me to except change in my life.

I chose this topic because I had no clue what to do for the hate category. I really don't actually hate anyone in particular. The boy who I wrote this about is an old friend of mine who I grew apart from. It's really to bad when that happens. I still wonder sometime if we could have been friends, but I think things are better this way.

Well I am a little bit surprised. Normally I don’t read the same book for more than a couple days. I guess I just haven’t been able to find the time this week. I did get a bit of reading in this weekend after my computers tech problems took up my actual reading period. In this small section of the book I really related to Bethany; yes I do love text to self-connections. Her and Xavier really have to fight for their relationship though unusual circumstances and eventually Bethany release to Xavier that she is an angel.

 Lately I can relate pretty well to this because my boyfriend, Devon, and I have been having a bit of a rough time. He works with a side company at the Ex called Thrillmasters and they travel all summer and I ended up staying behind since CFS would let me work out of province. Sixty four days is a long time to be away from someone you love and when he got back things between us seemed different. We ended up fighting a lot and we weren’t exactly sure why. He thinks he was just still winding down from work and having patience issues after a very long summer, I think he was just stressed from living with his mom; they don’t get along very well and I know it bothers him. Despite all that though I believe in fixing something when it’s broken not throwing it away, we both love each other and there was no way I was going to lose him over this. In the past couple week, since he moved back in with his dad may I add :P, there has been no more fighting and we are doing very well.

Writing Reflection #2

I found the six word memoirs to be a rather easy assignment. I write a lot of poetry and I love Haiku's so I’m used to expressing myself in limited words. I guess I learned that writing only one line can make you feel that you’re leaving things unsaid. I’m rather long winded so this is very good at bugging me. I was surprised how much more complete these sentences felt once I since them with their pictures. It’s an unusually important part. I found the words came to me very easily so the pictures were my favorite part. I’m a graphic designer so I found that I had a difficult time finding the right pictures for my words. I love a challenge. I guess I’m used to my novels so writing something short for a change it pretty nice. I kind of forgot how it feels to have that almost instant gratification that short forms of poetry seem to give you when you get the words just right. My only concern I guess is with myself, I didn't realize quite how out of practice I am with particular forms of writing. As I said I've been writing novels for three years now and I find I haven’t done much else in the way of writing.

First off I’d like to say, thank you very much for the recommendation of this book. I connected very well with this book and I found that I could compare the book’s main character Bethany with myself at a bit of a younger age. I first began to notice this when she first met Xavier. She felt what could only be described as love at first sight, and yet since she was very new to the human experience, being an angel and all that, she had no clue what was happening to her. I have always been a bit a romantic from a very young age and yet when I found my true love, yes I do believe in true love and love at first sight, etc, it took me hour to realize and name my feelings for the boy I met in the pool. To this day I can easily remember his deep sky-blue eyes and his dark, wet, brown hair. Though it took me many months to find this out, my love had a similar reaction and despite a couple break ups and fights we are still together to this day, two and a half years later. I hope the character in this book get to be as happy. I haven’t finished reading yet.

            I guess from the first time the two characters met I had predicted they would be together, as I said I related to that meeting. Just the way the writer spent so much time on the little details of describing Xavier help to show me that despite the fact that being with him could jeopardize Bethany’s mission and possible bring the wrath of God down on her she will do anything to be with him. So far she’s proven me right, and I don’t think she’s going back now; not that he’d let her. Anyway thanks for reading, hope you enjoy, and that I didn’t give too much away!
