My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky. Alan Moore
Ha! I love today's quote! LOVE IT! And the truth of it is so stark that it kind of hit me upside the head. Life is not one kind of genre, it is many all mixed in. If our life was actually written out critics would hate it, they would rip it apart for its unevenness and inconsistency. But isn't that what life is? Things can be going along just fine and then BAM! Out of nowhere the genre switches because of a relationship or a circumstance. That's life. Life is adventurous and if we lived just one kind of genre the adventure would be missing. We need all the genres in order to keep things interesting, to keep us growing forward, and to create the kind of legacy we are looking to leave. Have you found yourself living just one genre of life? Scared or unwilling to let the others come into play? I encourage you to let a new chapter be written - with a different genre - and see what happens.
