About: The first time I stumbled across Twilight, I knew instantly that it was special. Whether it was the cover or the title—I couldn’t really say. In that moment, everything changed. Right then and there, I knew I had to have it, to read it, to absorb it, to be a part of everything it had to offer.
I remember knowing nothing about Twilight. I hardly knew what was on The New York Times Best Seller until months after it was on that list. Like everything I read, I kept Twilight to myself—reading and sneaking a peek at the next chapter when no one was around. I had become entranced with the characters, their feelings, and their will to survive.
It was through Edward and the rest of the Cullen’s that my entire perspective on life and love got a complete 180. Edward, Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie were immortal—having forever to fix their mistakes and to fall in love. And because I was so swept up in having forever, I really, truly, completely realized that I didn’t have forever like the rest of the Cullen’s to be happy and to experience love. My mortality wasn’t going to wait for me to inch out of the corner and experience everything. The only person who could do that was me, only me.
I spent my whole life worried about appearances and what everyone else thought—that I forgot to live and breathe. And suddenly, it seemed like a very silly thing to do. I wasn’t going to have forever like Edward to adjust and resist human interaction. I realized that I wasn’t even sure if I was granted tomorrow or the day after that. All I knew was that I was alive right now, and I needed to make it count while I still had today.
But why should I be Fan Of The Month?
I learned from Twilight that’s it’s okay to be scared, to make mistakes, and to reach for what you want—despite the consequences. But most of all, Edward and Bella taught me that it’s okay to want love and to be loved and that, on some level, it was attainable.
All I have to do is fight for it.
