"An attitude that you take on. A perspective." - D.P.
I've found a type of writing I think that really has struck me above all else. While I have yet to truly read any works that fall into this category, something about it seems to call out to me and makes me wonder what more it is that I can draw from the world and in what ways I can begin to connect to the world on a more 'magical' level. I mean, the thing about it is that it isn't really trying to make the world something that it isn't, bubt it is trying to draw from it something new that someone wouldn't normally look for and what wouldn't be considered normal by society and it's so interesting because it allows for this new interpretation of life.

While it isn't exactly something that can be perfectly interpreted as real, but it draws from things we known and understand and challlenges them (at least, that's what I have gathered from it so far.) I'm trying to imagine more things in life like this, that draw from this idea and challenge how we view the world.
Imagine video games like this that draw from this idea of magical realism.

Have you ever had a moment when you feel like you've found something that has struck your being and you think about it in a spiritual way and it just... It feels right for your being. (Which I know sounds pretentious, but this idea and this concept just feels like an idea I have searched for, this enhanced understanding of all the things that I valie and pull from and ah, it just makes so much sense.) It's the idea that allows one to pull from every piece of life and elevate them to this level of equality that allows you to take in everything.

This is a little off topic but the anti-biotics I am on definitely make me feel like I am slightly intoxicated, which I can describe as a feeling I now know thanks to the other night.

Okay, back on track.

Even though it draws for the supernatural, it is normal and awe-inspiring and people accept it and look at it in a different way. (Could Legend of Korra be considered magical realism? Part of me wonders if there are things I can look at now and start to interperete in different ways...)
While I've just started this course, I am so interested in continue my journey in and continuing to learn what it is. While I may not be great in my definitely yet, I am so intrigued by this topic and concept that I can't wait to increase my understanding of it.
