The Simple Reason Why The Best Stories Are Always Written
The ones that aren’t never got a chance to even exist
Any creative mind comes up with more stories than any human hand can write. In a sort of parallel reality live the many discarded, orphaned and abandoned stories that we never wrote. And yet the best ones are indeed out there to be read.
When I say stories I mean books and albums and exhibitions and manifestos and any form of creative output you can think of. Implemented ideas that we put out there.
As a kid, I always had a very active mind, with many characters living inside of me and going on the most magnificent adventures while I was physically sitting at class, walking home or even watching TV.
Later on, I began writing stories and writing songs. I soon realised that this wasn’t always possible or acceptable. With a shudder, I still remember the first time I had an idea for a story that I didn’t manage to live out in my mind… a story I had forgotten by the time I had a chance to write it down. This happened with songs too. The feeling of loss and despair is comparable to that of a broken relationship. Over the years, I’ve become obsessed with writing down ideas whenever and wherever they come to me.
