I Relate To The Sith More Than The Jedi

I fell to the dark side and am never looking back.

As anyone remotely close with me knows to be true, I adore Star Wars. If you read one of my previous posts you might know that too and you might not even know me as well. Anyway, this week I decided to drop another article relating to that galaxy far, far away so brace yourselves.

So, if you're not as familiar with the movies here's what you need to know for this article: in the galaxy there are Jedi who keep peace and use the light side of the Force (a mystical energy basically) and then there are the Sith: sworn enemies of the Jedi who use the Force's dark side and create all kinds of chaos in the process.

Ultimately the Jedi win out (Spoiler alert) but to me, the Sith are the more interesting characters and here's why I get them:

They're Passionate

The Sith are fueled by passions. Part of the Sith's code says "Through passion, I gain strength" which is actually kinda true for real life. If you do something you're passionate about, chances are you'll do it well and there's certainly strength in doing both something you love doing and doing it well. For me, I'm a passionate historian so I tend to do well when presented with historical facts in class or if it's on a Jeopardy clue.

They Aren't Afraid of Emotions

I think in this day and age emotions are being discouraged more than they have been in the past. Some people are just more emotional than others and that shouldn't be seen as a flaw at all, rather a good thing because those more in tune with their emotions will be able to form deep connections with others better than those who shove emotions in a corner. I'm of the latter group myself but it is something I have been working on recently to open myself more to communicating my emotions to others.

They've Got Darth Vader

And he's obviously the coolest villain in the galaxy am I right? I mean, who didn't secretly want to be him as a kid? (I was once for Halloween) My personal love of Anakin/Vader could seriously rival Kylo Ren's. And also he was pretty cool before his iconic life-support suit came into play. I won't lie and say I have a thing for pre-suit Vader and have since I was 10.

Some Sith Are Capable of Redemption

The whole series is basically the story of a guy who grows up with nothing, follows his life dream, fears losing his loved ones and then becomes evil to try and prevent it, and in the end it's the love he is shown indirectly by his son that saves him from the darkness. Say what you will, but in my opinion, Anakin Skywalker has one of the most in-depth character arcs in pop culture regardless of your feelings on the prequel films or his character portrayal in them. Star Wars is really an epic fable about how love can literally save lives and that's pretty cool.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
