A Dreamers Sleep

Listen

Life. Life is a big concept to take in. Everything comes with life and nothing without it. I'm not saying that everything is living, like a scientifically non-living thing, but in a way I guess I am saying that. Everything has HAD a life; or in other words, a story. A backstory, a present story, and a future story. Something that it has "lived out".

Like how a tiny rock could have been apart of a mountain once but over time it had eroded off the peak. From there there rock could have rolled halfway down the mountain when this young kid hiking found it and decided to put it in his backpack and ultimately take it home. When the kid forgets the rock inside his backpack his mom will stumble across it while packing his lunch for school the next morning. She will see it as worthless and throw it out the backdoor with their gravel. There the rock will be forgotten in the small backyard. Never missed but not exactly forgotten. Later on, several different people could have lived in that house before the rock is ever picked up again. But this time as a worn round stone to be used to skip across the nearby lake where it will probably sink and stay in the depths while gathering a coating of slime. See, everything has a story to tell. A history. A past. A present. A future. 

Everything has a lesson to be told and taught. Everyone just has to listen or they will never learn them.

Unlike a rock though, humans have the ability to tell what they have been through. What they have seen. What they have learned. What they should have done. How that affected them. Where they are now. And what they want from the future.

I, for one, am a human. I have been places and seen things. I have been on cloud 9 and I have fallen through that cloud just for it to rain on me.I have seen the same thing happen to the people that I love and to those people that I don't particularly like. I have learned things and I just need someone to listen. Then, maybe, I can help that cloud stop from raining on them. 

So, listen to what I have to say. That way you can learn from my mistakes and learn from my triumphs. To discover that there is a purpose and a reason for everything and that no matter what may be going on you can make it. Make it to the reason behind everything that has effected you.

So, if you have decided to listen, then as soon as you're ready I will begin to tell. I will tell you of my past. Of my present. Of my hopes of the future. Of my failures and of my fantasies. From there you will learn of my lessons. But before I begin, I need you to clear your mind of any judgment and any distractions. I need your full attention. And when I have it...

...I shall begin.
