What if it's you?

Chapter Three -The power of words.

Hi again.

  Here I am, keeping my promise of meeting with you again. That's another thing you should know about us. Books are loyal.

  In one word, how was your day?

 Mine was a day when all you feel is "Asdfghjklm", it's when what you're going through is too overwhelming to the point that no words possess the ability of describing it. 

  The eldest knew about us. I mean about me taking this risk, they called it rebelling on them. Is trying to be different and somehow original called rebelling these days? Because the word contains so much darkness, hate, grudge and anger. I don't have those feelings towards them, I didn't hate the stories they made but I just didn't want to do it. My papers are too precious for me to fill them up with a predictable and a foreseeable story. 

  I don't want fame if it's only reachable by doing something I don't want to do. I don't appreciate being in a best sales list if I am only being a copy of hundreds of other books. Ever heard of originality? Use it. I don't see the point of being created different if we are going to copy others. 

  You are like me right? I know you are, or else you wouldn't be reading me. You wouldn't find my idea original, but you do, because you're original yourself. I'm not talking physically different, I think that you can get that by now, looks do not matter to me. One, because I can't diverge people by looks. Two, it's all about minds. Nobody is perfect, until you fall in love with their minds. 

  I bet you've heard so many other people saying that they don't care about looks, but the first thing they do is judge your appearance. I mean... Seriously? They make you think you're nothing but the price tag on your clothes.

  People have the power to take someone's soul, throw it to the dark clouds to meet up with thunders and storms and rain untill it's tired and shattered to pieces and then put it right back into that person's body but it'll never be the same. Do you know how they do that? Words.

  Words can be used to heal, but if they are misplaced, they will certainly kill. 

  If someone makes you feel that being different is a sin, that you must follow the pack, that you are rebelling on your destiny. Let them know, that they don't choose for you, you choose for yourself. You decide your destiny. Be independent.

  Difference is what makes others wonder how could you be the way you are. You should never worry about not fitting in because that's not why God made you, he made you to stand out. Make a choice for yourself while everyone else is living someone else's. They will all end up the same way but you will have it different. 

  I love birds, they're happy creatures. Even though they risk getting killed by people, they never stop flying. Because it makes them happy. I remember once, in the BB-Books room, I was working on my vocabulary and I felt a soft heartbeat next to me, I felt the cold air hitting my pages, which is probably caused by the movements of the bird's wings. He was free, chasing clouds, looking down at the world as a piece of art, when he's up in the air he's peaceful and calm, singing a beautiful melody -not when it's at 5a.m in front of your window and you're sleeping- but soon as he approaches the earth, he starts worrying about shelter, food, getting killed.. Just like humans. That's why you should be different to earn your humanity otherwise you'll become a nodding robot, never questions, never wonders, never doubts, never thinks, it only obeys.

  Make each day the best day. Enjoy your youth because with each passing second, you're getting older. Make today a good day, so that your future self will remember it and thank you for such unforgettable memories.

  Books can help put a smile on your face, you know, to fill up your heart and give you a push. You would get  into the characters that you'd give yourself the right to become a character. But you'd be thinking "this is too good to be true" , "It only exists in books"  "Real life is harder." This is what makes me want to change. I hate how books can make someone feel that their life is an illusion, that they can't have better, that the love stories they are reading aren't real. I want you to live words and not only imagine them. I want you to believe that your life can be a book, with a happy ending. If someone gave you a book with the story of your life, would you read the end or would you be so afraid? I don't want you to be afraid. Because if you believe in what you can do, if you believe that you can control your destiny, you won't have to be afraid of your end. Because truth is, you never end. A soul should never just evaporates. It has to go somewhere. And that somewhere is what keeps us holding on, it may be a better place. It may be what we need, what we lived waiting for, but only had it when we are no longer in this life. The changes you make today, will affect your future.

  I want you to be you and I will be me. It's not only new for you, it's new to me too. I can feel your heartbeats getting faster while reading specific phrases, probably reminding you of something, someone? Is is someone you miss? Something you can't let go of?

  Sometimes, it is just hope that we are missing. Sometimes, it is fear. Sometimes, it's pain. But this is not serious, it can be cured, changed, evolved. These doubts are not engraved in stone, they can be modified. Just believe, continue to run and to live. Just have faith to cope and overcome, to accept the help of others and the love they share with you. It is the suffering that course a body inhaling a nonexistent drug. But It is the most reassuring feeling in the world to say that there still is more life for us. To realize that we can still change course, try, experiment and test. That we have the right to make the biggest mistakes and we will have the time to repair it. It's exhilarating and it gives butterflies in the belly to say that  we may not have met all the people that will change our life, that we can still fall on our soul-mate and meet our best friends. It is reassuring to say that loneliness is only temporary, that everything can still change, turn and lean in our favor. It is the brightest feeling to realize that we are only at the beginning of the trip.

  No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. It's all up to you. And after a while you learn that you don't need anyone else in order to survive. No one is ever going to always be there, no matter what they say or what they promise you. You just got to suck it up, accept it and keep moving on hoping that you'll make it through alive on your own. 

  But the reason I am here, is to fight with you, and be there for you.

  Why?

  Because I believe in you, just the way you believed in me.
