Not to be egotistical but this is one of my favorite quotes. And I was the one to say it. I feel like to leave a page blank, to not fill it with words or doodles or scribbles of any sort is rude. It is robbing the page of its ability to be beautiful. And to take beauty from the world is wrong.
I decided that the written word is a beautiful thing. I mean
these words that I am writing right now, they will be here in one million
years. when I am dead and gone. when my children's children's children's
children's children are grown and old and have filled the world with their
stories and mine have become the cautionary tale that no one believe really
happened. they will live through wars, plagues, and famines; see peace,
prosperity, and happiness; transcend generations; endure critique; bask in the
glory of praise. they will be here, an unchanging testament to who I am, the
way few other things are.
Today is a day to fill my blank page. I could fill it with anything, my imagination is the limit. And after that i will go on
other exciting voyages into the deep recesses of my brain. And who knows what
beauty we will find there. Maybe a mermaid, or a leprechaun, or a girl with a yellow
hat and green shoes. Maybe we will find out that a boy named Destry plays the
didgeridoo in Manhattan, or Emery Jo-Ann is in love, or Bobert from Washington
ate a jar of mayonnaise on a dare. Who knows, and who cares? Those are
adventures for another day.
I love this so far. That last paragraph is beautiful.

Loved this ^
That's pretty.
I love that I know you well enough to love you. Especially since I recognized your way of typing before I even knew you were you.
ReplyDeleteThat last paragraph also gave it away.
And your egotistical quote. It's okay.
I quote myself sometimes, too.
