I must say I am at awe after seeing Black Panther and Infinity War. I have to say, after reflecting on the Iron Man, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Black Panther, even Ant Man, it took long enough, but my mind has finally blown.
Wanting to be a medic before becoming a surgeon, I must say my attention for so long has been stress with school and not so much as writing or looking at different crafts when it comes to creating content. Now as I procrastinate on some things, as well as lose hope on others, writing has finally come to my attention after tapping on my shoulder for the past year.
I guess this could be a letter of thank you in a way. Since watching and actually watching from a creator perspective as I am writing my book as well as just wanting to dip into my creative side more than ever before, its dawned on me how little I have let my imagination and emotions be set free.
When creating, it has come to my attention after sitting in my seat with my head on top of my head and tears on my cheeks while the credits rolled during infinity how large of a limit I have given myself which is why I have a case of writer’s block.
Writing isn’t just something that you do on the side and something that just happens, in a way Lee and Marvel made me finally accept that it’s apart of myself. Further solidifying that I can do both, and that’s okay to do both-medicine and writing.
Watching Infinity War and Black Panther made me understand the importance of writing. So thanks for that too. It’s not something to take lightly! You are creating a space of safety and excitement. I place where one can go and just be there for a while instead on in reality which sometimes can not be so great.
It’s all in the feeling. Watching those films I felt the emotions in my bones. I want to conjure that up in my writing. I want it to bring forth feelings I didn’t think I could feel, or feel anymore. With those films it made it feel that what was impossible was possible, and things that you think couldn’t be harmful was.
I know I’m babbling, but how can you not at this amazing franchise of films! All of them leading up to these great projects that I am sure are going down in history. I had never seen a film or set of films that told a story where my biggest dreams, fantasies, loves, nightmares, fears, and surprises came true spurts of less than 3 hours at a time. Yet Lee and Marvel, you made that happen! Which in turn has made me look at writing as not just a hobby anymore, but a duty.
For so long I’ve trained myself to shut down every creative bone in my body thinking that it wasn’t a real job or something that I could actually have and people like and read. As of right now, I still don’t have that many readers other than friends and facebook page supporters – hey guys!
But watching these films made me think. What if? What if you know. When I write or read other crafts I get a feeling in me that I can’t describe but it is something that I don’t want to go away. I want more of it. I need more of it. I don’t know where it will lead me but if it can lead me to make even the fraction of what those guys (Marvel & Lee) made then I say I should keep going.
So in saying all this mumbo jumbo at 01:58 hours in the night I say thank you to Marvel and Stan Lee for helping me realize that creating isn’t just a hobby, its apart of life and it actually does matter and make a difference. I can be proof of that. Hopefully my writing and creative project will be proof too.
