Stories of Change
Through the books that we read, we are able to experince worlds that are forgein to our own experiences. We can how other people live, and learn about the world around us. Beyond that we are able to see the worlds that people dream about. Stories in books matter for they share lessons that can change a person's soul. Showing them that their story deserves to be told, or that they have the strength to fight their own demons. Maybe they might not be a chose one, but they do have the smae strength that will allow them to save themselves.
Most of my reading might be fanasty novels about imaginary worlds, but I am still able to learn what is possible. That life takes courage, there will be battles from losing a job, or a tough break-up, but that does not mean that we have to stop to fight. Our story only ends when we say it does, and if the books have taught me anything I know that I will have to fail dramatically throughout the series of my life, if I want to be victorious by the epilogue. Stories in books taught me that I have to fight to create the life that I want, for I am the chosen one of my own story.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry has greatly effected my worldview, and remains one of my favorite books. A book about a lost little prince who travels the unverse, tought me about relationships and the affect that we could have on each other's lives. Through the interacts with the Fox, it is revealed that if you want to "tame" someone, or have any kind of relationship with them, you have to put in the effort. In life I know that I can't just wlak up to someone and say that they are my best friend, that could work in the moment, but I need to work to maintain that relationship. Through a book that is geared at children, I was able to learn about the purpose of relationship. So often people wonder the purpose of life, but that thought process is always at a single life. Humans are not meant to be alone, and we should be asking what our purpose together is. I realized that lesson through The Little Prince. The purpose of our combined lives, is to be there for each other, No one should travel through the life alone.
