Everyone has a Special Story

For over two months I have been wondering what to write. Things happened, ideas came and went but nothing triggered my interest to write. You know the feeling when you are just not yourself and tired of living multiple lives. The life that I lead here is different from the one that I lead on day to day. This is the place to get away from the monotonous daily routine. Today is new year and I wanted to share something special with friends and welwishers. I just wanted to write something special. Special enough that when I read them two years, ten years, twenty years down the line they still are special. So I thought I will write about life. Over the months that I have been writing, I also have had the pleasure of reading a lot of blogs.

And you know what I found in these blogs. Stories. Yeah Stories. Special Stories, Lovely Stories, Everyday Stories. Stories written as stories, as essays, as movies, as poems, as scripts and as pictures. No matter how they were conveyed there was something in all of them. There was something about all these stories. They were special. They made me feel special. They made me feel that I belong. I was part of these peoples lives and it was special.

Isn’t that what we all want to be? Special. Be loved and love back. We are looking for people in our lives that make us feel special we all have our own definition of what special means but we are all looking for the things that make us feel special. Some feel special just being there by that special someone in a coffee shop and some feel special by the headcount of people who attended their birthday party. But the idea is to feel special.

Every life has a story behind it. Stories of love, Stories of life, Stories of affection, Stories of hate, Stories of anger. Some stories live on for generations and some die with the people. But every story is special in it's right. Stories inspire us, Stories move us, they despise us, they make us happy, and they make us sad. Stories change with life. New life new stories but the same effect. Everyone of us are speical and our stories still more special. Use it wisely for they define who we are and what our destiny is. Every story starts with a journey and ends with destiny.

Happy New Year 2006
