Alright, here goes, the inaugural Twilight post!
I am, have been, and forever will be TEAM EDWARD! Whew, that being said, I completely sympathize with Jacob. Part of the reason why we are so in love with the Saga is because we can find something to identify with.
I have been thinking lately about how life will be after the Saga ends. Will I feel like that part of my life is over, will I physically miss the anticipation and hype of yet another movie??
I fell in love first and foremost with the story. The characters and the world so vividly depicted by the wonderful Mrs. Meyer. The addition in my world of endearing Taylor Lautner, more good speaking KStew, and the ridiculously attractive Robert Pattinson, was just BONUS!!!
But I started thinking that I need to give Jacob's character a chance. He displays an incredible amount of loyalty and maturity in Breaking Dawn and makes sacrifices that seem almost unnatural.
Stephenie redeems his sacrifice by adding in Renesmee, a consolation prize of sorts. But in the end Jacob doesn't feel robbed, like he came in second to anyone. He is perfectly content with his destiny with her.
Will I ever be happy that the Twilight experience over, PROBABLY NOT! But I can be content with my destiny.....
I feel like Twilight is my Bella, something that I got to experience for a little while, that will always be a part of my life. But as it reaches the end, I feel more closely drawn to holding on to whatever I can....
But in this analogy there has to be a Renesmee, something that is better for me in the long run. I think that my friends and the opportunities that I have been afforded because of Twilight, are my Renesmee! Something that I can feel tied to, that is connected to Twilight, but is separate and different in its own way.
This post is dedicated to the wonderful and amazing ladies that I have met and have yet to meet.... Many of you play such an important part in my life. You honestly have become my support system, you encourage me, inspire me, make me happy, make me proud, make me laugh, make me cry (the good kind!) This is my way of saying, "Thank you for EVERYTHING!"
Well said! I will missing the excitement of another movie, but the books will never change. There is always going to be a part of Twilight in our lives that will never change, but I feel our Renesmee's will. She will come and she will go with the times. I look forward to it all myself and I am very thankful to have had the experiences I have had and grateful for the people I have met all b/c of Twilight. =0) Its AWESOME!
