Have you ever felt like there was a part of your life that was so foundational to you, you would never be able to picture yourself without it?
Sometimes it's hard to put yourself in someone else's shoes. And sometimes you want to introduce something to someone because you find the concept so essential to your life.
This past school year I discovered the wonders of creative writing. I find it so amazing that I think, well, people haven't lived until they've written a story. Someone else, on the other hand, might think that I haven't lived until I've tried something they do.
This is a thought that tends to worry me, both ways. Maybe I haven't begun to live yet. Maybe there are things in life that I haven't discovered yet, that will someday be the focus of my life.
For example, before the movie Across the Universe came out, I couldn't recall ever having heard a Beatles song. And up until about a month ago, I couldn't have named two Beatles. Now I have 103 of their songs on my iPod... in fact, that's the only music I have on it.
Do you ever think you'll discover some life-changing thing that you'll regret not having heard about or tried before? Or do you know that's already happened?
What couldn't you live without?
