Sincere Ramblings

Who are You, Really?

who are you.

really?

you are not a name

or a height, or a weight

you are not an age

and you are not where you

are from

you are your favorite books

and the songs stuck in your head

you are your thoughts

and what you eat for breakfast

on saturday mornings

you are a thousand things

but everyone chooses

to see the million things

you are not

you are not

where you are from

you are

where you're going

and i'd like

to go there

too

- M. K.

This is one of my favorite quotes. I run it through my mind and think, yes. This is what makes a person. People are so much more than one-dimensional back-up singers to your story. They are the masters of their own stories. Can't we just all be the side characters of each other's stories, all at once, with infinite tales being created through the magic of human interaction, with everyone being the protagonist of their own story, which is just as valuable as any other.

Because the world always needs more stories. To inspire us and to show us what mistakes not to make and which way is the safe path and just to get comfort that other people are just as confused and awed with these cosmos as you are.
