One More Thing!

I believed I said something about posting about why I/we/etc. love Narnia so much. Considering I am having the absolute slowest day of my life, I have plenty of time to type. (I walked in slow motion for 10 minutes waiting for my dad. I am practically bored to tears right now.)

There's just something about Narnia. We can explain it as best as we can, but it will never, ever suffice. We love Narnia because it is a place where boys become men, where girls can be warriors, where adventure is inevitable, where animals talk, where magic is possible, where children are leaders. We're addicted to it because it gives us hope, it gives us a sense of purpose, and mainly because it helps us to see the magic in our daily lives. Once we picture our world a little differently, everything is an adventure. Nobody is just 'some kid', everybody is 'someone'. In Narnia, nothing is ordinary. Even the most ill tempered, cruel, dishonest, and overall rude (*cough* Eustace *cough*) can become great. We believe it because we want to, we need to, we basically have to. It exists because we make it so, and because it always has, whether we can see it or not. If you choose it not to be real, it won't, at least not for you. Narnia is a place we can all get to, but only with our consent. You just have to believe.

... Was that deep and fancy enough?

"A lady of Narnia must keep calm when her sister has been banging on the door for what appears to be two minutes straight, if her clock is correct..."
