warpednormal's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - i have always fallen in love with storytellers. and this women exhaled stories with such ease and contentment, that with 15 minutes in her presence you felt like you were in the beginning of some long touching film that began with the words "well, hun let me tell you..." i woke up broken hearted and listening to poetry, but i forced myself to come to this BCNU steward meeting, where I had been elected into. And this lady with dreads in her hair and that all too distinct Jamaican accent began her story. I wish i could completely sum it all up, but it wouldn't affect you like it did me. because it was more about her presence and how some lines in her story ran parallel to mine. it was the first time i laughed today and i was greatful. and though i've been filling my void with poetry and chocolate i started to believe that maybe its all to create a bigger and better story i'm not one to believe that things happen for a reason. but i am a firm believer in the power of stories to connect with one another. and that's why i believe my story with M is a special one because it opens my heart and gives me the opportunity to truly feel with another hell, thats why diaryland is so goddamn important. thats why i turn to blogs and books and friends. because hearing and believing that someone has also gone through what you have, and has even gotten out of it better and happier is the most beautiful thing i have come to appreciate lately.
