"tell me a story"

one of my absolute favorite lines. a filler for a gap in conversation, or sometimes just to know what is going on in your head. whether it is about your childhood, or something funny that happened last week, i want to know. i love to tell stories. i tell them all the time. but i like to take the time to listen too. i want to know everything worth knowing about my friends.

we keep getting bombarded by short little intervals. bursts of excitement, bursts of pain, bursts of sun, and bursts of rain. they say nothing is forever but i dont agree. stories are forever. legends and heroes are forever. even if forever is only as long as i live.

she often calls me up to tell me stories. the stories most of the time involve both of us together, on our 'adventures.' those are the stories i treasure the most. the stories that are closest to my heart. the stories we could tell over and over and over again to each other and never get sick of.

lets make stories together.
lets make stories worth telling to our grandchildren.

so then, when i ask you 'tell me a story', and you know i will, we will have a whole library to choose from.
