Update

I've been struggling to write something on here, just to put it up, just to say that I keep it updated, but I don't think that's a good idea. I want to write in order for people to engage with art and culture and even God. There is purpose behind what is said. If I just update this thing just to keep it updated then it's meaningless. I want to keep up and do what I'm supposed to do, but if it's not about engaging, then what's the point?

I'm not saying any of this to justify times when I don't update, because there will be times that I don't update. I'm just saying that if you take your time out to read this then I want it to be worth the breath you spent on it. That's all I really have to say.

While writing i was listening to the Lumineers. Give them a listen.

It Was 1950

I used to blog every day (or close to it), but I guess college got in the way. But this is a result of friends saying I should reclaim my love for it and a desire to have a place to write.

The year was 1950. Dylan Thomas first read poetry in the U.S.. My grandparents got married. And a book was published. This book would be the first of several in a series. It would eventually be one of those books parents read to their children. This book was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis. It would go on to become classic literature and the favorite of children around the world. Including me.

So why are these stories special? Why would a college student name a blog after them? Well, these stories are TRUE. They may not be what people perceive as real, but they are TRUE. The difference between this TRUTH and the truth that I am in college is all in the humanity and representation of something bigger. These stories show the capacity God has for love and grace and sacrifice. Those are the ultimate TRUTHS. And if a story reaches beyond the perception of reality the way this story does, it represents a greater TRUTH than we see every day. That is what we like to refer to as Deep Magic. This story is filled with the Deepest Magic and ultimate TRUTH.
So that's why this is The 1950. I'll post about this more in depth later on, but for now I'll let that sink in. I'm on mobile so I can't attach a playlist, but while writing I listened to "Wait" by M83, and "For My Help" by Hayden Calnin.

Introduction

 So what is there to say? Well, I am 21; a college senior; an English Major, and a tea enthusiast. One of my biggest goals in life is to get out and see the world. Iceland is at the top of the list. Christianity is more than a religion to me. Family comes first.

There really isn't much more to me. I will hopefully be updating fairly regularly, and maybe I'll add a playlist for each post. We'll see.
