Stories

I love to tell and hear stories. Through song, or prose, or just talking. I find the development of stories, real or fake, to be fascinating and amazing, no matter how boring or stupid the story itself is.

I love how almost everything can tell a story, if you want it to. A piece of paper on the table that isn't yours, or a lost pair of shoes left in a parking lot, in the empty space next to your car.

You always wonder to yourself what happened, how did it get there, how long will it stay there? And if you don't, you have absolutely no curiosity in your body. So leave me alone.

Next time you have a story to tell, just assume that someone wants to hear it and tell it. You never know how it might change the person you tell it to. That sounds silly, but, it's so true. What are books, but stories? And how many books have changed lives?

Don't hold in your words. Let them out in music, or drawings, or poems, or whatever you want.

The story belongs to you, and it's up to you how you release it into the world.

Stories are so beautiful. I hate to see them wasted.
