When I write a story.. (Follow me in the caption, dearie) #yqbaba #story #musings When I write a story, I free the characters and allow them to write themselves. At times, I get in and meet them, listening intently to their needs n wants and how they want themselves to be played out. I may even become a witness to their story by activating my awareness. I ensure that I stay with all of them till exhausted or excited or whatever, they finally decide to end or maybe break away to refresh themselves in case they are reincarnated the way they deserve to be. Well, my characters perhaps understand me more than me. You know, that's one of the reasons I love them and stay truthful to them lest they suffer a word-break. Mind you, it's worse than a nasty heartbreak. My creations deserve all the love they can get, for if I don't love and connect with them, who else will? My words carry me as much as I carry them in me. We breathe each other. I wonder if I would survive without my words..they are my oxygen. I pray that there is no shortage of this oxygen in my mind space where the entire world's available and chosen oxygen cylinders have been deposited, where no damn politician dare enter to mess up. It belongs to me..so what if I have breathed them, continue breathing them for free? I selflessly share them with the world, you see.
