If I think about it..

I live for stories. Whether good or bad, I define myself based on my ability as a storyteller.  These aren't just stories I share with myself, they're the kind I desperately wish to share with others. I want my life, to be defined as one big story, with each chapter a different point in my life. I wouldn't want it to be a movie, because parts are usually left out, important or not, they're parts of my story. THAT is why I write, and read, why i experience and explore. I want the stories I tell to inspire, I want to see hope and wonder in people's eyes, I never want it to disappear. Often in this society, we tend to separate ourselves from that in order to "fit in" but why? I see nothing in wanting to be like somebody else, walking in other people's footsteps and ending at their finish line, always taking last place. Why not be first in your own finish line? Be first in your own race. Telling stories, makes me feel at peace, and one with the world, which to me, is everything.
