Nothing, Everything

You can talk to people, listen to them, ask questions, try to piece their story together. They can tell you somethings; they can never tell you everything.You can get it wrong, get it right, make it up. There are a million things to say; nothing to say. In the end, there is an imperfect story. Is it better than no story?

It is a daunting task to open someone up and try to piece them back together in words. Impossible to achieve perfection yes. But don't you agree that it's the flavor of the writer who strings together those words that makes it so delicious for the reader? Interpretation, vision, impression, never perfect, all subjective. Does Mother Nature create perfection? Never! Is it better to tell the story? Oh yes, yes yes.
