Lit the past to ignite the future

Thanksgiving was recently and I have to admit I don't have a lot to be thankful for apart from a handful of friends and the fact i'm in college right now to basically "ignite" my future.  My blog title is American Lit past for more then 1 reason. 1. Obviously to represent the past literatures of American history however there is a personal meaning behind it. I for the longest time would hold on to the past always shining a light on it or keeping it lit  in other words instead of looking at my present and seeing what i'm doing now will ignite my future, which in my eyes makes whatever happened in my past not that important anymore  when I realized things aren't the same anymore because it's better and will continue to get better.

It's fitting that I made the title that I did to express myself as it's kind of  a bit poetic and we happen to be working on poetry right now so it seems the perfect time to reflect upon those kind of things.  Speaking of working and reading poetry I write poetry and have for many years although it's been about 2 years since I've written new material. I have done just that since starting the new "Pod" for my literature class and I will share those with everyone starting tomorrow.
