The starting point of anything is scary. New relationships. The first day of preschool. Beginning to think about college. Needless to say, this blog is a little bit frightening. But my hope is to hit the ground running and not take another look back.
I love the idea of story, and I feel that i have compiled some pretty eventful ones over the expanse of my 17 year existence. The kicker about stories is that they are meant to be shared. Stories are meant to be laughed about, wept over, rejoiced at, and sung to. If our lives are like stories, then they are meant to be laughed about, wept over, rejoiced at, and sung to as well. Stories have conflict. Our lives are filled with it. In stories characters undergo a change, a maturation. For us, this begins on day one. Stories have heroes, villains, sidekicks, romance, death, and laughter. Take a look around you. Think about your day. Our lives are the same. Stories have a beginning and an end. Likewise, as surely as our lives have a beginning they have an end as well. Stories are created to be told. I want to live a life worth telling.
I was driving home a couple nights ago and realized that if my life is one great big story, than this blog should help to tell it. I hope you enjoy.
More to come. Much love.
Eric
