To me, a lament is like a story. Everyone has one, but not everyone knows how to put it into words, or even describe what they're feeling. I've been thinking a lot about the topic of lamenting, and I finally came up with something worth telling.
My mom and I just watched the movie "Letters to Juliet". I had already seen it once in the movie theater, but this time I watched it, I began to think about what direction of my life I am heading in. I don't know if you all are familiar with the story line or not, but it is a classic love story about how destiny brought a man and woman together through his grandmother, searching for her long-lost love. You might be surprised, but I did indeed cry at the end. Like every other love story, everyone lived happily ever after and everyone was with who they were supposed to be with.
Then I got to thinking....is that really how life works? I know I'm young and haven't experienced life yet, but I know enough to be skeptical about destiny. I've messed up in the past, a lot. But that's not what this is about. This blog about lamenting is directed towards my worries about love. People I've come across in my almost 17 years have given me a reason to worry. You may call me stupid or ignorant or selfish, but I have reason to worry.
I don't want to get too personal, because this is just a blog, but I reccomend you all watching "Letters to Juliet" and really thinking about your destiny.
