Once upon a time

"Stories. We all spend our lives telling them; about this, about that, about people. But some, some stories are so good that you wish they'd never end. They're so gripping that we'll go without sleep just to see a little bit more. Some stories bring us laughter & sometimes they bring us tears.But isnt that what a great story does; makes you feel? Stories that are so powerful, they really are with us forever."

Life's one big story. The story of us. And it's full of millions and millions of other stories which are constantly unwinding all around us. The whole world is one massive, intricate, beautiful, terrifying, magnificent, terrible, wonderful and exciting story. Millions and millions of people are carrying on in their lives as I type, and in years to come they will sit down and tell their story to their children, grandchildren, friends. They will look back on it and remember the good times and the bad, and recount everything that happened.

They will remember the friends they made, the people they loved, and the people who broke their heart. I want my story to be full of good times. I want to be able to say that I lived it to the full, and right now, that's not what I'm doing. I'm letting stupid things get to me, I'm stressing over things that won't matter in a year's time, and I'm living in a routine that just isn't very interesting.

So here's to spicing things up a bit. No more unnecessary freak-outs, no pretending to be who I'm not, and no more of this boring routine. I'm still going to go the places I usually go, but I'm going to enjoy myself!

It's not all going to be giggles, smiles and happy times, and there probably won't be a fairytale ending where I end up living happily ever after; but it'll be a story nonetheless. One full of love, happiness, smiles, heartbreak, tears, fears, success, failure and friendship. I'm excited.
