I have a confession to make…

I love Titanic.

I’m not just talking about the 1997 film (although I do love that too…mainly due to Leonardo DiCaprio). I’m talking about everything titanic related. For instance if you walked into my room you’d think you had just walked into a museum. I have books, newspaper articles, documentaries, posters, document replicas, the list goes on. I don’t know what it is about the tragedy that makes me so interested, maybe it’s just due to finding out everything I can about how something like this happened and how much of an impact it really had. Not just on the family members but also on the people who were involved with the building and developing of the Titanic before it even entered the ocean for it’s maiden voyage.

I’ve always been fond of history but even that’s not the real reason I’m interested in this as much as I am. From a different view I am also curious about where they all ended up, but that’s the spiritual side of it all so I’ll leave that be for the moment.
