This quote from popular British television show Doctor Who really captures the main point of this digital story. Viewing our lives from the day to day perspective it does feel like much changes. We seemingly do the same repetitive tasks and it all just becomes a blur. But we are obviously different people than we were a year ago, or even five years ago.

So today I’d like to ask: When did we change? When was the turning point from who you were, to who you are now, at this moment. This story is from one of the more major turning points in my life, because it gave me a more positive outlook on life.

It was July 4th 2014, at around 10:30 at night. I had decided that I was going to walk to the basketball court that was located near my house in order to see the fireworks. When I got there I decided to lay down on the concrete in order to get a better view of them.

They ended around 11, but it was still quite warm out, so I decided to stay there and admire the sky, which is something I don’t normally take time to do. During this time the clouds and the night sky seemed so much more interesting, beautiful, and somehow more important than it ever did before.

While watching the sky I began to be very introspective about my life at that moment, and what I was happy and unhappy with. I was viewing my passive and negative attributes in a way that I had never done in my life before.

It was one of those long nights where it is just you and your thoughts. I was unhappy with where I was in life. I was probably the most boring person in the world, just going to work, then coming home just to watch TV. I had horrible eating habits, and I was not taking care of my mind or body.

.I began to think about what I perceived was important and valuable to me in life, such as wanting to travel the world and experience different places and cultures. I realized how amazing and ever changing the world is, and that it never remains the same for a single second, and that there is so much to see.

I promised myself at that moment that I was going to go out and see the world. To go out and make a story worth telling. I also realized that I had to live my life for myself, and that taking care of myself, both physically and mentally, would help change my life around. Since this turning point in my life I have done exactly that. I spend my time living in the moment, and experiencing all that I can, while making memories with good friends, in beautiful places.

Great job on your story board!
ReplyDeleteI believe that your point of view is the emphasis on a life-changing evaluation of yourself. You lead up to this by discussing in the beginning how everyone changes.
Your dramatic question would be "When was the turning point from who you were, to who you are now, at this moment."
Your emotional content is solely based on self-evaluation and where you valued the life you had been leading to this point.
You did not have pictures included, but your descriptions were very informative, and I think your visuals will greatly aide your story.
