Novel
Every good novel has chapters
And each chapter contains a different part of a story
Long or Short
Uplifting or Absolute Shit
Action Packed or Dull
Every story has descriptors woven through the characters lives
At one point, while a character’s life could be the peak of their existence
They could lose all of that in an instant
In the next chapter
At another point, while a character’s life could be approaching the gates of hell
They could go back to heaven in an instant
In the next chapter
What really matters in a scenario of despair
When the next chapter is not in sight
Or when you think your book is about to come to an end
What do you do
You suffer
Even if the feeling is so unbearable that your heart starts to collapse
You learn
Even if you think there is no lesson in sight
You move on
Even if the remnants of loss linger through your mind throughout the rest of your life
The protagonist in any given story doesn't succeed without failure
Even if the situation is not in their control
With loss comes sorrow
Although it might seem like your life is be frozen in time
Your novel isn't over
Just don’t give up
With the end of every chapter
Comes the life of another
Your novel isn't over
