Indistinguishable from Magic

I've taken steps in the recent past to change my life, to reinvent myself.  I went back to school to follow my passion.  It has been an eye opening experience.  It  taught me that college can be done.  It told me that a life in an industry that has been dear to my heart since the age of four is within my reach.  I just have to do it.  My dreams are there for the taking.

I fell in love with the 'make belive' of movies when I was little.  I fell in love with the 'talent' of it when I was older.  Now that I am a man, I find myself a little wiser, and I love the 'creation' of it all.  There is an art, a synchronized coordination, a creation of life to it.   Movies have the power to bring people to tears, the power to make them smile.  Movies bring emotions to an open-hearted and willing audience.  There is a definite romance to this art that moves people like no other.

I am drawn like a super charged magnet.  I want to make people cry with stories of love.  I want to make people clutch their loved ones with anticipation ([with fear], [with relief], [with hope], [with heartbreak], [with joy]).  I want to make people live the beauty of a lifetime within the span of two hours.

My heart is full with every emotion this human existence weaves for us.  I embrace every emotion my life has to offer.  Our emotions are what separate us from any other creature that we know of in this expansive universe.  Our emotions are our souls.

I am drawn to fill peoples' souls.  This is the spell that I am destined to enchant.  It truly is indistinguishable from magic.

I have been ensorcelled to my writings again.  I will tell great tales.

I determined to finish this project that has been burning behind my eyes since a day of illuminated inspiration in my Cinema History class.  I listened intently to my professor ( a grizzled old veteran affectionally titled, Sarge), grappled on to his words.  I quoted him in my notes.  It was a random tirade like he was prone to, and that I hoped for daily. Within those quotations a story was birthed.  It will be finished; a short film.

I've started on a new script as well.

World, prepare to feel.  World?  Be prepared to be dazzled by my magic.

We can all be magical in our own way.  What is your spell?
