The Beginning

Starting at the beginning and telling you why I'm writing.

Over the last few months (or years, give or take a few tragedies), life has been a bit of a bumpy road. Feeling lost and a little too sad too often, I set out to look at the beautiful complexities of life, instead of taking everything at face (and sometimes simply painful) value. Call it viewing the silver lining, if you will. Everything that happens in life comes accompanied by something good, and, if you dont see it, you can at least always get a pretty good story out of it anyway.
For this reason i took up the hobby of writing my life in a series of stories, describing detail, feelings, characters, and scenes as if I had made them up when I, in fact, have not. This doesnt necessarily mean that all of the things written here have happened to me. They have happened to someone, somewhere, someday, or will. The world is too complex for the situations that occur to never come up in the lottery of life.
And so I give you this, my ode to living. Story of a day.
