Changing Stars

Changing Stars originally started a while back, hosting my very first forays into the blogger’s world. In time, I grew disinterested and the blog was abandoned, my writings and musings left to be archived. Even with the blog itself abandoned, however, I never truly gave up the focus of my ponderings and the concepts behind it.

The original idea for the title ‘Changing Stars’ was greatly inspired from the Hollywood film, A Knight’s Tale. Heath Ledger plays William Thatcher, a peasant’s son with big dreams of breaking the class barriers and  becoming a knight. One particular scene shows a young Will Thatcher watching a tournament with his father, saying that one day he’d like to be one of the armored knights dueling on the field. A man nearby in the stocks laughs at the boy, cackling that ‘You might as well change the stars.’

Will’s father tells the boy that yes, it is possible to change your stars, and in the course of the movie he proves rather successful in doing so. That was a Hollywood movie, a fiction and a fantasy, yet I believe the same to be true in reality as well. I believe in forcing those stars into whatever alignment you decide you want them to be.

I want to leave a legacy. I want to be remembered for what I did and what I created to pass on to further generations. Who I am can be easily forgotten, never mind the fact that I don’t leave a very remarkable impression in person. I’m still going to pass away one day. My mark on the world will carry on for me.

I want to have a future worth living.
