It's a Wonderful Life

Recently I watched the "It's a Wonderful Life" episode of That 70's Show and it really made me think. In the episode Eric goes back to the day when Donna kissed him and she doesn't kiss him. Then the angel shows Eric how different everything would have been if they have never kissed. That got me thinking about how different my life may be right now if I had never been with my ex. Although he is a jerk and broke my heart more then once, he really made a difference in my life. He made me challenge things and made me think about things, for example, I use to be a really big mama's girl, and I still am but I have learned to do more things on my own and have tried to make my mom see that I am growing up and need more space to live my own life. He taught me be stronger and not to let people push me around. There are other things too but I don't want to list them all.

I still don't believe that "it's better to have loved and lost, then to never to have loved at all" is right. I do believe that you meet the people you meet and go through the things you go through for a reason but losing someone you love is never fun and never good, even if it is a good thing in the big picture. I know that a perfect world would be boring but at least in a perfect world everyone would be happy and everything would be great. Pain, heartache, and challenges are a part of life, yes, but what about those people who can't handle it, is that what was in store for them in life? That wouldn't make sense because suicide is a sin and is punished in hell, so why would it be their "destiny"?

I tend to think about things too much... it has its pros and cons.

Photography

Well I'm not really sure what to write on my first blog. So, I'll just start at the beginning. My name is Meghan Miller. I am a junior at Morningside College in Sioux City. I have two majors now, Photography and Graphic Design. My main focus is on photography but I figured I could use some experience in another field, so I added Graphic Design. Photography I think really became an interest to me when I was in 8th grade and I decided to be on the yearbook staff. Of course, the yearbook in junior high isn't that big of a deal and it is a little different from a high school year book but it was still a really cool experience. We each had to make our own page layout and then we had to cut the pictures out and put them on the page, so it was like an old fashion way of doing it but it was fun.

I later decided that i wanted to be on the yearbook staff at my high school as a photographer, and my interests for photography grew. Although I really liked being on the yearbook staff, I found that journalism photography was not where I wanted to go with it. I am now finding out that I really like landscape photography. Now what I am working towards is learning different techniques of photography to explore everything but I really think I am going to try my hardest to travel around the world and take pictures of landscapes and things for a magazine or something like that, I'm still not really sure yet. All I know is that I want to take landscape photos and travel.

Wish me luck...
