One day Bryan told me he loved me and I asked him to explain why. Without hesitation he explained that nobody has ever taken care of him the way that I do. When he had no place to stay I made sure he had a place to sleep, something to eat. I support him in everything he does, I love him and I make his problem my own and constantly worry about whether or not he is making the right decisions. As he pointed these things out to me, I realized that I had never noticed I did them, they just come to me naturally because I want the best for him. The only thing I could think the whole time was “I’d never leave behind someone I loved” when he was done explaining I was speechless to find that he had noticed and appreciated all these things. The only thing I could say was “wherever I go, you go” because I’d never leave him behind. If I have a place to stay then so will he. If I have food to eat then so will he. Because that’s what friends do, they take care of one another through it all. This has been our promise to each other ever since.

Since the beginning of mankind there has been this desire to tell stories, to entertain and to be entertained. Our proof of this goes back all the way to cave paintings and reaches down millions of years to Hollywood. What about these stories makes them so appealing to us? Why do people like stories? The answer is very debatable and ranges from simple to complex. Simply put, stories entertain us. The complexity of it? They do something to us emotionally, and whatever it is has us coming back for more every time.

If I were an English teacher I would tell you that there are five elements in creating what would be considered a story. The Exposition being one, which is basically the beginning of the story. The author creates a setting, introduces a main character and hooks the reader/viewer to continue to interest themselves. Next is the Rising Action. This is what sets up some type of conflict for the characters to overcome(For example, this would be the part where Scar kills Mufassa). The Climax is the part that has you on the edge of your seat. Then there is the Falling Action, which almost never happens because the Resolution comes right afterwards. That is the punch in the end, the very last thing that happens in the movie that either has you really stoked or in tears.

These are the basic parts of the formula when beginning to create a great film or novel. Without these it would be hard to get any human being to like your story, or even be able to hold their attention to it. I’d like to just think that it is because we are routined creatures by nature, which could very well be the reason, but there is something else. Another vital part of every story is the main character who usually plays the ‘hero’ role. Take a look at every classic movie or story (with some being an exception) each one has a main character who has to overcome some type of problem. Whether that problem is saving the world from being taken over by an evil villain or getting over a bad patch in their life, they play some type of hero role. This is also very true for religion as well. A really easy one to relate to is the story of Christ, who was born for the sole purpose of saving his people but not before sharing the truth of the gospel with them. Think about it, if Christ had come to the earth claiming he was the messiah and nobody believed him, where would Christianity be today? We are attracted to the hero in stories. Something about them reminds us of ourselves and gives us an inspiration to overcome the problems we have and be the hero in our own life.

Without a goal, though, a hero is not a hero. Nobody wants to read a story about Sam, who woke up one morning, went to work, came home, took a shower, and did the same thing the next day. Why? Because Sam isn’t a hero, Sam didn’t have any problems that he overcame. He did not save the day and he did not prove anything to us at the end. We could know everything in the world about him, but his story still would not interest us a bit. There was no moral to his story. A moral is a belief or guidance which appeals to the good in you. Every story has one, every story. There may be a hundred morals in the story, and there may only be one at the end. They may seem like important morals and some may be so small that it could be debated, but every story has one. “The moral of the story” is the punchline and it is what makes great stories stick with us and add a little extra to that ‘happily ever after’ feeling our hearts get after an epic ending. If we changed Sam’s story around a little bit and he was late for work so he sped and hit a little girl walking her dog, even then his story would interest us a little more because there is a moral to the story, a lesson learned. Sam should not have sped to work. Sam should have gotten up earlier to get ready. Sam shouldn’t have stayed out drinking with his friends the night before. Anything at all would make Sam’s story a little more interesting. And then the next time were late for work, going 45 in a 25, we will remember Sam and the horrible thing that he did.

If you still aren’t convinced, take a look at the story of Hercules. He was a mortal with immortal powers. In order to return to his immortal home where he belongs, he must prove to be a true hero. In order to do this, he begins to train and fight monsters and other evil entities. What makes him a true hero though is his life that he exchanged in order to save the love of his life. Not only does this story have a literal hero and a every aspect of a story, it has a countless amount of morals. Hercules taught us that no matter how hard life gets, there is always a better tomorrow and that the only way you will find it is if you keep trying and never give up. He taught us that there is always room for improvement. Hercules was the strongest man in the world. He did not have to follow rules if he did not want to yet, every time he broke the rules he took his punishment as he was supposed to and because of his self-

There are so many other stories we could look at that have these elements. The Lion King, 300, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, even movies like The Water Boy have a hero, a moral and an awesome ending. So, why do we like stories? Many reasons. Entertainment, we relate stories to our own lives, they make us want to better ourselves, push us to overcome something we are dealing with, inspire us to reach our goals, teach us things about ourselves, teach us things about life, leave us with a feeling in our hearts that we can’t exactly describe, remind us of memories in our childhood, and give us new outlooks on things. But most of all they give us a hope in our own lives, after reading a good book or watching an award winning movie, we are inspired not to waste our lives. We are pushed to live our lives like heros in movies. Nobody wants to waste their life away, just like nobody wants to sit and hear about someone who has no morals, no goals, no problems. If life were that simple, there would be no point.

I deserve so much more than what I got from you. What upsets me the most is that you left me with a wound that’s never going to heal and I will always distance myself from everyone or hide in some type of way because of you. It’s not even you anymore, you don’t make me cry, or disgust me, or even anger me anymore. But god, the situation I was left with, the broken pieces I had to put back together alone, that’s killing me.

Dear 2011

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:23:00 -0500

To start off, I want to say that as much as I complain, it’s been a great year. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs, a lot of heartbreak, a lot of new relationships with great people and a lot of broken relationships with no so great people. New opportunities and new chances to make everyday a better one for myself. I turned 18, got my first job, graduated, started college and became a manager at the same place all in one year…yes, it has been crazy. Never in my life have I felt so loved, so supported, so happy yet so alone, sad and regretful. I’m so glad it’s finally over. I know that the start of a new year doesn’t mean that things will change, but I know that it means that tons of opportunities to invite change in will come. That makes me more excited than I can really explain in words.

I just want to break ties with everyone and everything that has hurt me. I’m not free from error at all, but I know that a lot of the things I went through I did not bring upon myself. I know that I deserved a whole lot more than what I got. But I realize now that it’s not about what you deserve at all. It’s about what you need to get through, to get to the place that you are supposed to be. Even if that means feeling things more painful than you can seem to bear.

So goodbye 2011. Goodbye to the pain and the happiness and the people and the experiences. and hello 2012, hello to new experiences, new pain, new happiness and new people.
