“Stories are like genies...They can carry us into and though our
sorrows. Sometimes they burn, sometimes they dance, sometimes they
weep, sometimes they sing. Like genies, everyone has one. Like genies,
sometimes we forget that we do.
Our stories can set us free...When we set them free.”
- Francesca Lia Block
I completely believe this quote. I don't think this only applies to stories, though. I think this really can apply to any type of art, anything you can pour yourself into: painting, singing, dancing, drawing, etc. You always have that power to make music, make art, write a story, to create from whatever is in your head, no matter what's going on.
And setting it down, pouring it out...it can free you sometimes. Lighten your load.
To telling your story (even if you're the only one who ever reads it).
