The Main Character

I think we all construct a narrative of our life, with ourselves as the main character. Our little dramas make up the story line. Friends become supporting characters. Policemen issuing parking tickets, rude waitresses et al become our antagonists.

We incorporate fables, myths, folklore into the story to let us know how it should go. Giving a girl a flower should make her swoon. Cause that's just how it's supposed to be! In all the stories we know.

Isn't it amazing that I'm a character in your story, and you're one in mine? Isn't it amazing that the central storyline, the one you must follow, is the one about yourself.. and that EVERYONE is writing a story of their own?

I think secretly, we all want to be living epic, heroic, happy stories. With comedy thrown in for giggles. But it's ok to live a sadder story. At least once in a while. Right?
