If I Stay…

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?
