Stories

Sometimes, I feel like writing a book about my life. I wonder what kind of book it would be? Would it be a drama, or a comedy? Action or suspense, long or short, exciting or boring. I guess it would be all those things since I've gone through every one of them. Life is.. complicated like that. Maybe I'll try it one day, write a book about my life. My greatest fear though is when I finally get to read it, that I'd get disappointed. I know I've had regrets, but what if my story turned out to be one big regretful tale? I don't think i can stand that. I just wish that when it's finished, I'd have a book that I can proudly show others as a testament to who I was - who I am.

I'm sometimes envious of characters in movies. Most of them have their happy endings, where everything works out for them in the end. But Life isn't like that at all. There are no villains or heroes in life, no clear-cut good and bad. If that were so, then there would be a lot of conflict since every person would have their own story to tell. Movies are so simple.. A movie ends after two hours or so, but life continues. People die, but life goes on. Perhaps that's what makes life much more interesting than movies - you can't predict what will happen next. There's no plot, no rising action, no single climax, and no predictable ending no matter how inevitable it may be. Life is not a movie, but sometimes I sure wish it is.

But there's no way I can remember everything that happened in my life. So I'd need help in creating my book. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share to me their memories of who I am. After all, it takes other people to peer inside oneself, from a different view.

It doesn't matter what you tell me, as long as you do.
