Its been a few weeks since I’ve written anything just for the sake of writing, and that’s what I’m trying to do right now, but as usual I don’t know what it is that I want to write about because my desire is to write just for the sake of writing. So with that first sentence coming full circle where shall I go from here? I’ve decided to change the name of this blog, its original name “Starrlight” doesn’t really mean anything, and although this blog was started as a way to share my story and its title was a cute play on my name, I don’t wish for my book to be called Starr so a name change seemed to be in order. Through the process of attempting to write said story what seems to have come together is a series of events, miscellaneous thoughts and decisions about how to live this life I’ve been given, the purpose of sharing this story has turned from shining a light on who I am and what I see to, leaning how to live this life and appreciate the beauty in every moment. So with that in mind the new title for this blog is taken from a phrase I saw while flipping through magazines at Amy’s last week, it seems to hold slightly more meaning than a play on my name so tonight it takes its place on this blog.
I hesitated but I'm going to comment anyway. This is overly critical and analytical but... thats me. I much prefer the previous title. Here are my reasons. Starrlite(ght) is what it's all about; you shining the unique special gift that only you have been given into this world. I love that title. Frozen moments, unfortunately in my opinion take the meaning and the life out of the moment. Each moment is only special because of it's ability to progress, to move, to flourish. If ever we try to capture a moment then I believe the life in that unique instance has been quenched. I guess to me the title in itself make it sound like you're trying to hold on, or to "have" those special moments. Sorry, blah blah blah. ok.
ReplyDeleteDearest Starr,
ReplyDeleteI like the new title. While moments should always have the ability to progress, I like the new title. When I think of frozen moments, I think of pictures, not static pictures that sit on a desk void of meaning, but those that remind you of stories of times past and memories made.... And there is my two cents; I like the new name, but Starrlight is good too :)
