Becoming Characters

In the void, we can read a story or watch a film or play a game and quite literally become the characters whose stories we have traced. We can perceive the parallels between their dilemmas and ours. We can see their interactions and be aware of how our interactions on a day to day basis are, indeed, running parallel. This can be distressing if we become caught in the "loop" and begin to believe that we are stuck living out these stories. But we can also WRITE OUR OWN. We can (quite literally) write a page and watch it unfold before our eyes. We can create a story and witness firsthand how the people around us begin to fall into step with the characters we have created hours earlier. When we do this, we begin to take back control of our own lives. Do not live out other people's stories. Write your own.
