Part of everyone story

Its a long long Journey

What if our life was actually a blank but unique story book given by God?. Each chapter is a year of your life. Now the very interesting part of all this stories is how one person story intertwine to another person story, a few to many, one to a lot or many to one. Complex or complicated? Everyone of us is part of a story of someone else in our life just like someone was part of your story.

Imagine walking through the pages of your life you found that your love ones' (family, girlfriend, boyfriend, wife or children) are walking through the similar pages of their "story book" as you are, maybe a different page number, or different view point in the same place, day and time. Today story is about joy of a new born, passing your O-Level, getting promoted at work, marriage, striking lottery, your new car, your new bike, your first date. Tomorrow story is about sorrow, a love one pass away, an accident, quarreling with your wife/husband, divorce, losing all your money in gambling, break up, getting a pay cut, the water went out while you are showering. It might be the book that take an longest time to write and thousand of pages thick depending on life span but it will be the best book ever written in the world for its not a fictional story book or another "Base on the life of" book written by another author, not another autobiography that goes through the scrutiny of the publisher.....

This book is call "Life" and everyone have to write their "Life" the moment they are born. Its uncensored, truth (sometime the hurting truth) and there is never an intended last chapter cause you never know when you will be writing it! Good memories, bad memories, good people, evil people...all this comes and goes in your "Life" at different pages. Somehow we are writing it so fast because times actually really flies (I am 26 this year, I thought my secondary school life was few years ago), that we already forgot about what happen in the past, its like invisible ink in "Life" written and disappear after a while. Sometimes "Life" was written with a white board marker and we choose to whether erase it or not and sometimes its permanent marker which forever linger in our zone of joy like heaven or sorrow like hell.

Heard the saying, "You Are The Architect Of Your Life"? Maybe should say "You Are The Writer Of Your Life". You are given a blank book to walk you "Life" on, is it going to be rubbish and nonsense that abruptly ends with no one remembering or re-telling your story or a "Life" of Wisdom, Compassion, which leave a lasting good impression in someone else story book, a story worth telling, a legacy? Remind me of a song from Dick Lee, "Life Story"..... singing...

"Its my life story, make it a better story, that goes on forever, like the wind"
