Tell A Story

Something we discussed in class the other day really has been sticking with me as I struggle with my paper, everything we said about stories.

The one who tells the story...IS the story.

For some reason this really strikes me.

The story is so much more than just the story...ideas that are slowly reforming my paper...and I mean slooooowwwllly. The story must have essential elements, like darkness and sadness, and I'm realizing this is essential for the journey of life too...it won't make for an interesting memoir if everything goes well all the time, if there isn't suffering. As Badly Drawn Boy says, "The joy is not the same, Without the pain."
