Reflection: To find or to Be Found


When reading blogs for our earlier assignment, I found Rashid Willams' Fear of Writing blog to be the most interesting and most relevant for me. My favorite post was To Find or to Be Found. I think to many people, the topic of relationships is very intriguing. Everyone wants somebody else. The idea discussed in this particular post talks about how people are constantly searching for that someone else, when really you shouldn't look for love, but let it find you; let yourself be found. Furthermore, Rashid tells his readers that you don't really need to do anything to be found, that at the right time and right place, fate will step in and put two people where they need to be to find each other.

It all sounds really cliche, but I would like to believe it is true.

  1. Hey Stefanie! I loved what you chose for this blog. All of his points seemed really true...though a tad corny :) haha but it was still really sweet. Applying his writing to relationships made it really interesting and easy to understand.

    And i really like your background, too :)

  2. Hey Stefanie! I agree completely with what Rashid Williams is saying about us not needing to be found but just waiting for the right time and place! I like how you talk about fate too because I sometimes believe somethings are fate as well! Lol hahaha!

  3. I agree with what Rashid is saying about love and fate and waiting for fate to find you instead of chasing it yourself. I just wish I followed this advice more often haha

  4. Stefanie, I like how you used your blog to respond to Rashid's post. This seems like a good way to use our blogs... to create conversation between texts and people.

  5. Stephanie great post! Interestingly I do find it corny as well but it has rang true in so many situations that I have encountered with friends, family members, and colleagues. Love and relationships are quirky business and there is no easy way to approach it but some age old truths still do apply!
