For the Story...

Life is a novel laced with pure irony. Irony is what draws us into the story and what keeps us turning the page, usually writing as we go along. But we only get one draft, and a good book is never long enough. So don't hold back for fear of permanent mistakes. It's important to remember that even though you can't take back chapters already written, you can re-read them and learn from your experiences... absorb the knowledge so that when it comes time to write that next page, you won't make the same mistakes. Along with that, learn to realize how precious each page is and how important those words you sprawl across the page really are. Remember that the mistakes usually end with the best stories. And above all, live each day as if it were your last page... your final chapter and chance to share your story. Do it for the irony....the little moments; the tears you hold back, and the laughter you can't; for the likes that somewhere along the way transform into love. Do it for the adventure. Live your life; and above all do it for the story.
