So it is a blogging kind of day today. Must be studying for exams. Oh yeah, I am.
Anyway, I want to make a point about story writing and memory. If there ever is a story that seems like it is truth, it is not. Even the news (mostly the news), even the documentaries, even the biographies, and of course always the fiction books. Now truth is always subjective and can never be truly known because with truth comes hidden memory. So a story is always a story. I know everyone knows this already, but for some reason I wanted make sure everyone knows my position on it quite clearly. A final note on love and boys: how I feel about a boy is my truth and my story and just like the brother says in the chase scene at the end of Adaptation, it always belongs to me. Stories are just stories, whether they seem real or truthful or not. There is always me in them and my truth and my creativity. Don't believe everything you read.
