I don't believe it, I had seen the movie so many times as a kid, but I never read the book, now that I am reading it, it's actually quite nice. The kind that is a obviously meant for kids, but that the adult who likes to read books would also enjoy. I am really zooming through it cause I can't wait to read Wicked. It's been made into a musical as well, and has a really nice song (which is the title of my blog post today).
I love reading old books, especially like these. Books which are good make my heart glow with happiness when I read them, and many of you will think that I am being very over dramatic here, but some of you may understand.
On another note, the year is finally drawing to a close, and oh.my.God. What a year it has been.
Hands touch, eyes meet,
sudden silence, sudden heat
hearts leap in a giddy world.
He could be that boy,
but I'm not that girl

An illustration of my life this year

I feel like I have grown as a person so much this year. It has been one major emotional and mental roller coaster ride, which is not exactly over but still, I think over the past 361 ( about 4 days left) I have somewhat learned to ride the roller coaster without shutting my eyes in fear. I feel a wee more confident that I can take on the next dip that comes along ( which would be the 'x' marked on the graph right here.
Don't dream too far, don't lose sight of who you are,
don't remember that rush of joy.
He could be that boy,
I'm not that girl

I really am not the girl that I was before.I wouldn't say I'm better or worse, just different. I do at times miss the way things used to be, cause I was used to them being that way, now suddenly everything is different.
( Notice I tend to write a lot without giving too much away, I don't think I need to, I guess by being vague people might be able to relate more to what I write, as they can adapt my words to their own frame of mind)
Every so often we long to steal,
to the land of what might have been,
but that doesn't soften the ache we feel
when reality sets back in

I loved this post! Did you write these poem bits?
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
ReplyDeleteNo, they are from the 'Wicked' Musical, I wish I did though, I think it's pretty cool :)
i'm glad you're liking it! the second story has more characters and is loads witty.
ReplyDeleteand Wicked isn't a prequel, it is the entire story from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, while Wizard of Oz is about Dorothy.
yeah i am, thanks Furree.. Oh okay I thought it was a prequel cause the witch dies in the Oz book.
ReplyDeletehaha :)
