Remember when:
1. Your parents were the coolest superheroes.
3. Closing your
eyes seriously made the world go away.
4. Running away wasn't "running away" from something--it was running toward open arms.
5. The biggest obstacle was the couch, the tree or the neighbor's fence.
6. A busted lip was a badge of honor deserving a kiss and ice chips.
7. Worms weren't so gross and caterpillars were fun to play with.
8. You got to stay up late to catch firef
lies--and those fireflies were the night light.
9. Bad dreams were okay because someone was always there to tuck you in again.
I am a firm believer that everything in life is fodder: I am a writer. I use my experience to write things. A painter will use her experience, her life as a medium; same as the sculptor; really--everyone does this. Not just the artsy folk. Perhaps a cardiologist becomes a cardiologist because his mother/sister/brother/aunt/what-have-you died at 42 of heart-disease.
I don't know. I mean, it's just that life is about suffering and lessening the suffering of others (and hopefully someone lessens your own suffering in return).
