Trapped inside the pages
Since I have been little I have written my thoughts, some cohesive and some not. You will often hear me say if something is bothering you write it down, if it is harming you build a fire and burn the very pages and thoughts from your mind.
I am 53 years old and have been trapped many times into the pages I write. See no matter what my mind is always writing the story of my life, often leaving me trapped with just the stories in my mind. I have burned many pages in my time only to rewrite the very same pages again. Why do we repeat the things we have had to write and burn? Why am I trapped in the pages of my mind?
I have lived in my pages and reread each one a million times or more. Some of my stories are so beautiful and other are a horror. It’s getting time to burn some pages and clear out my mind, but this time I will refuse not to leave a few notes behind. One the biggest problems I can see is when seeing someone makes the same mistakes over and over is that they have burned those pages away, often times because of pain. How can we burn a page and still leave notes is a great question.
I have pages in my mind that will always be left untold, the reason is because I have nothing more than the foot notes. It is important to not allow the things that have harmed your to rent space in your mind, but that doesn’t mean don’t keep a storage locker.
Just like in the world out side your mind, we have things hoarded away, things we may not see for months possibly even years. These things hold importance some how, so we cling to them. This is how you become a prisoner of the stories in your mind.
So as I am helping a friend through a tough time I take a good look at myself. I begin to wonder am I trapped within the stories of my mind? Is it possible I just keep rewriting all the same pages in my mind? Now this is where it get really weird, because my storage locker sometimes spills over in my normal space, as my locker is overfilled. I begin to wonder how can I clean all these memories from my mind.
You have to be willing or able to let the pages burn but the foot notes as well. It’s not that you are rewriting the same pages, it that you have cleared your mind for new pages to be written. Not all stories are meant to be fairly tales, some will be painful and this is what you call living.. See without the pains, and horror you would not be who you are today. If all we ever had was perfect there would be no pages to turn. Not one person has the perfect solution to a perfect life.
So please live and don’t be trapped in the pages of your mind. We may have to rewrite the same story a million times before we get it right. Sometimes it’s gonna hurt and other times we will want to keep those pages so protected because they were so great. It is a new day, take a chance, risk it all and let your next chapter be the biggest adventure of all. It perfectly fine to be trapped in the pages of your mind. Your pages are your history, they are why you have become whom your are, they will help you write the next chapter even better.
