As a writer, most people think I write for (or about me). Here’s
the truth: I don’t. For the last year, I have been keeping journals for myself
and for some of the most amazing people in my life, that I write half way
through. Then, I leave a blank page. My message on that page? "The rest is up to you."
My Intent
When I go, whenever that may be, everyone in my life has a
story book. If they are here to write it, that’s wonderful. If they aren’t, that’s
okay too. I figure it’s a great gift to leave behind when I’m no longer here,
or maybe even a gift to give when I realize they aren’t going to be for much longer. Why? Because none of
us are promised tomorrow. Having lived through a fire that almost killed me,
having lived through other circumstances that probably should have, I
understand this on a very organic level. Do and say today whatever you can.
Because a missed opportunity is something you could regret for a lifetime.
Allow
Not all stories in your life are meant to intermingle
forever. Not all people in your life are forever people. As I got to talking
with a friend tonight, I realized I had a few “forever” people in the mix, but those I’ve known for 20 or 30 years, those who know that (at my core) I have
never really changed are still my forever people. For me, life is simple, it’s family first, always and
forever. Those who understand that my loyalty will always be to my family and friends (and yes, my loyalty is fierce and demanding) also organically understand that my loyalty demands those who are friends --at least those who become friends -- be like family, and, understand that my loyalty is probably (notably) my one and only
best quality.
What if?
What if you wrote a story about everyone in your life who
means the most to you right now? Where would you start? Where would you end?
What do you choose to leave behind? Where would their blank page be? Imagine if
you could give someone that. Imagine if you could hand your heart and soul in a bound leather booklet, halfway full of random scribbles. Imagine, just for a moment,
how many lives you could change. Then, do it.
Great post! Thanks for sharing!
