... a beginning

Every person has a story - every single person. Some write them down and send them out to share them with world. Others are shared in homes, on bar stools or even in passing between perfect strangers. The one thing that all stories have in common? They were all lived in some small measure or a large one. The events that transpired brought the end of their wakeful sleep, their lives of quiet frustration. Some tales are tragic and others triumphant. But nonetheless long, short, tragic or otherwise a story is a story - we all have one and it embodies everything we know. At the end of the day we are the culmination of life's learned lessons. We are our stories, each of the characters are our friends, enemies, lovers, family and parts of ourselves simultaneously. Such complex and ever resilient creatures we are, though we suffer the dealings of fate and fortune it does not stop us from reliving them time and again with each retelling. Each time finding another piece of ourselves.
