So to start at the beginning I guess I'll explain the title of my blog. In grade ten when I was taking history my mind kept wandering off topic and my imagination kinda ran wild. I remember thinking about the people who died in the two world wars and I wondered if they had ever thought toward the future and what they pictured it would be like.
When I was thinking that I got the creepiest feeling. It felt like I could feel their spirits, as if everyone who had ever dreamed of a better future were directing their thoughts to me in this lifetime. I can't really explain what it was like. It sounds crazy but right then I felt a deep connection to those faceless people of the past.
It wasn't scary exactly, it was more... inspiring. I felt the desire to live life to the fullest, to cherish every moment - even in boring classes, as if to prove to them that everything was going to be okay.
Stupid, huh? But it left a huge impression on me anyway. When I came back to myself I felt like I needed to put something on paper - a physical representation of the experience. So I turned to a page at the back of my notebook and started writing. When I was done I dated it and titled it 'Cara's Wanderings' because my mind had wandered so far off topic. Throughout the past 2 years I've made various entries into 'Cara's Wanderings' but I could probably count the number on one hand, maybe two.
Also I've read a few stories online on sites like fictionpress, or fanfiction (fanfiction writing usually much better as lame as it sounds because people with better writing skills will post because since it is a fanfiction they can't hope to publish it) and I was appalled by the number of writers that constantly confused the words wander and wonder.
You don't wander what they will do and I've never seen someone wonder down the city streets. though both words may be similar in spelling and may share the vague concept of drifting they are not interchangable.
So here it is - What I Wonder as I Wander (through this life, I guess). I think it will be a fitting title because I will most likely just write about various imaginings of mine such as I did in the past with 'Cara's Wandering'. As a challenge to myself to be brief and to-the-point I'll end here. I didn't check my spelling and I think my blog page needs serious work but I hope you enjoyed and will check out my next post.
Till then,
~Cara
