Before We Get There [[One- shot Collection]]
Description
They said some people aren't going to stay forever. Some people aren't your whole story. Some people are just meant to be a chapter in your life. And indeed, these people are chapters in my life. While I may never be able to be there for their whole story, I am thankful that we were parts of each other's stories, be it a chapter, a page or a single line. These are our stories, before we get there.
Foreword
..I always liked the word 'Sonder'..
..as in the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own..
..because it reminds me that the world isn't only about me..
..and that I am not alone in this crazy journey we call life..
..and I am not lonely in trying to find love..
..For I never believed that anyone is just a passerby in my life..
..and we were meant to swap stories..
..to learn from each other, to grow with each other..
..we laugh and celebrate together with selfless joy..
..and we cry and comfort one another in soothing tears..
..So this isn't my story..
..Nope this is about him and about them..
..this is about that person whom I had the chance to cross paths with..
..this is about that friend and the conversations I can never forget..
..this about us..
..learning to love ourselves..
..this is about them..
..learning to love someone else..
..Because everyone wants to be happy..
..In the end, everyone chase after that happiness with a child-like heart..
..No matter how many times we fall we stumble, we get up again..
..we don't stop and we can't seem to stop..
..so these are the stories..
..before we get there..
Author's Notes:
This story is a collection of the narrator's understanding of the stories of these boys she crossed paths with.
The chapters may or may not be connected, the characters may or may not be interlinked. I guess, you may even choose not to read them in sequence.
So essentially they are a series of one-shots, and hence will always be marked as 'completed'.
I wanted these one-shots to be very real and relatable, and I hope these stories can easily be of someone close to you, or that they might even be yours.
If you like what you read, please comment & upvote, for that is always appreciated :)
And do share me, if any chapter reminds you of a person, a memory, a story or even a song. I would loved to know.
If you want to read more, please subscribe as the new chapters will be added only when my muse visits.
I will drop by once a while but I will be more active at my long on-going stories.
Thank you again for reading. You are loved <3
