Often times when I'm working hard on homework I have, my dad will ask "Homework? Story of your life, eh?" This is quite comical to me, because I see everything as a story, and enjoy stories immensely. When I listen to a song, I don't care so much about the beat as much as I do about the message, the lyrical content. The mystery and depth of words, happenings, and emotions intrigue me more than anything else. I love how things seem to come together somehow when I read a story, especially a mystery or suspense/thriller novel. It fascinates me that we are all living our own story; we each have our own destiny and legacy, and each thing we encounter, each person we meet, is another character or event in the great "story of our lives." I've always thought I was a little odd, a little different, because I see things this way, but I suppose I'm just observant in my own quirky way. But doesn't it seem monumental that we can write our own story by all the things we do? All the choices we make? I'm sure excited! So, start writing your story (well, continue doing it) today, and even though that sounds totally cliche, it is very much happening all around us, and we must be the author of our lives, even if we believe in a divine author.
