Write Your Own Life
π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»
Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid coloured pen.What would you do?
You couldn't see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just enough to create a masterpiece, or several masterpieces, that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don't know before you begin it.
Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance!
Really, no rule of the game says that you must do something.
Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, if unused.
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the flow of words that take you where they take you?
Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?
And what would you write about: About love? Hate? Joy? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? Everything?
Would you write just to please yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing for others?
Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain?
Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says that you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw?
Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they?
There's a lot to think about here, isn't there?
Now, suppose someone gave you a life...
