As 2026 comes to an end, I decided to write to my future self. I got into a state of flow and realized something. People are so similar to books. You're born and your entire book is empty. Each chapter is a new year. As you progress through your life, your book continues to fill up. Yet if life ended short, the book is also to cut short. These books define who you are even if you don't know who you are. It could be any type of book, a journal, a diary, a scrap book, a novel, even a graphic book. There will never be two of the same books, they may have so much similarities but they are still their own books. The tragic thing is that each book and person connected, go through something bad, many times. This makes the person want to hurt their book, burn the book, poison their book and maybe stop continuing the book itself. It hurts, so so much. To the point you would want to turn on yourself and bring pain to yourself. There are many cases when people do this and it hurt others and themselves. But, at a new year, there is a new chapter. You can change yourself however you like. You can forget about your past chapters. But it will always be there to haunt you, hurt you. But when you continue through the chapter, people and things will help fill your book up again. It's very hard to understand this, but it's true. There is a point in the book that will have your highest and lowest. Sadly that's apart of life. Many people agree when I say, life is a tragic story of how a person is to live, suffer and die with the chances of being healed.
