Reflective Essay
Have you ever read a story, had a dream, or seen a piece of art that changed your views on the world and on life as you knew it? One night, I had a dream, this dream, was, for me, horrifying and beautiful. I felt like I had just been born and that I had to share my revelation with others. So I wrote something that I hoped would be published. I didn’t know what was going on through in my head at the time, and I don’t know where the story would lead. But I did know that once it was finished, I would be in awe and change my views on the world.
The morning, when I woke up from the dream, I had an urge to write. All I knew from the dream was that there were Angels and children. And then someone who was dressed in black said that they couldn’t get back. That was all I had in my head, and I had to write about it. At first I just wrote a paragraph, like a poem. But then I kept writing and it turned into a chapter. Then each chapter kept flowing until I had to stop due to school.
I guess it was a good thing for me to stop writing. If I hadn’t, I might have lost track of homework and friends. But when I was done with everything, my computer and the dream just kept pulling me to keep writing. So I limited myself to five chapters a day. Then, a friend of mine who had been reading my story pulled me away from the computer for a full week. This caused the dream to fade and for me to become a little distraught.
However, I started to read a book to try and get me back on track. The book didn’t work, but I did start writing again. The story lost its toll a bit, but when I got into it again, I kept writing till it was late at night and almost the next day. The finished product, what had flowed freely from my mind, was dramatic. I had never believed in God, and I had always believed that Humans would be the cause of the Earth to be destroyed. And, looking at my final product, I realized that I did believe in God.
The creation I had written made me hope that there was a God. It made me pray that there was a Heaven and a Hell, even though I would probably want to be in Hell just so I could feel and not Heaven because to love everything is to loose myself in nothingness. But I hoped, dreamed, and prayed for a world beyond this one. So I ask you, have you ever seen, read, or watch something that changed your life? Because I have, and it did.
