Real Life Tuesday, Mockingjay Week Edition:

So, at first I was a little concerned about the fact that this is "real life" for me, this huge emotional reaction to a book. But then I recalled all the things I've read over the years about people and Harry Potter and how the books gave them hope and changed their lives... so in the end I decided that if i am crazy, hey, at least I'm not alone!

So a little while back, May maybe, I decided I wanted to reread Mockingjay. I've reread The Hunger Games once, so logically, I was due for the second, not the third, but I felt like I could still remember Catching Fire pretty well, where as Mockingjay was a blur. This was because I had read it super fast, and had consciously emotionally removed myself from it for most of it, because Catching Fire wrecked me so bad. Still I was reluctant, because I don't like reading a book too close to watching it's movie, as this makes me remember it all the clearer (and I usually remember details quite well as it is), and thus I will pick the movie to pieces, and enjoy it less. However, I decided that not being able to remember at all would be worse, and the movie was still a good ways off, so... I risked it. I borrowed the book from my sister and put it on my headboard shelf.

I could not bring myself to pick it up for days. It triggered this feeling of fear whenever I looked at it, because I love but I also hate these books; I love and I hate what they do to me, the thoughts and emotions I'm swamped with. And here's where we get to Harry Potter: many of you out there have grown up with Harry Potter, and that's one of the things you love best about the books. I also grew up with The Hunger Games books, but in a different way. I read them all in one summer. But they grew me up. The things that I experienced at their hands influenced the path I'm on now (along with other books): YWAM DTS (Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School) in Germany, the path of I Want To Live (aka, this blog), of stepping out and making the change I want to see, a path of knowing I can not stay in America and just live a good life because I would feel like a Capital resident watching the Districts starve. I can not watch people suffer and do nothing, I can not let innocence die. I must do what I can with the time that is given me (quoting Gandalf. Yes I'm a booky, and these are not my only loves).

Eventually, I got up the courage to pick up the book and open it. After two chapters I got up, and when I saw the mockingjay sketches on my floor (which I will present to you tomorrow), I had a strange desire to tear them up. I walked into the bathroom and caught site of the silver arrows dangling from my ears, and flinched. When I finished the book a few days ago (I got distracted for awhile), I was crying and wanted to throw the book against the wall, because they always does this, they hurt me, and I can't explain why.

But I will try, all the same. I do not have some traumatic life event that they trigger, but I can pretty much vouch for the fact that that's what it is, a trigger, as it matches every description I've ever heard. Because they talk about stuff that's going on inside of me, they touch places that I like to let lie dormant, because I go crazy when they're turned one.

"... I'm not arguing. If I could hit a button and kill every living soul working for the Capital [real life paraphrase: evil person], I would do it. Without hesitation. [...] The question is, what are you going to do?" ~Gale

What am I going to do? That's the question that echos again and again through my head with every line I read. What does this mean to me? What is happening in my world that's like this? What can I do about it? What will I do about it? When Katniss responds, "I'm going to be the Mockingjay," she had decided that she would do anything to stop evil, to win for those she loved, and for human kind in general, a better life. My war may look different, but in essence, it is the same war.

I believe in happy endings, for every man, woman, and child on the earth. But more than that, I believe in Life, and even more still, Love, and a God that is Love. That's why I'm going where I'm going. I have said to God, "I will do anything, just take me there." And step by step, He's doing just that.

Music Monday, Mockingjay Edition:

When both Mockingjay 1 and 2 have come out, I will need to learn how to make music videos, because this song is just screaming for one. It even mentions hijacking! Not meant in the same way, of course, but it would work... so many ideas XD
