My little life or my big life? Is there such a thing as
either one of those? And what about “my best life?” Is that a thing, either? And
if they are a “thing,” do any of us live any of these all of the time?
Sometimes I feel as if I’m living a little life and chastise
myself. Tell myself I should live my big life all the time. Is that
realistic?
I hear so much about dreams, about being all that one can be, how one
deserves to live a certain way. Then I think of refugees, and Syria, and India,
and anywhere else in the world where existence is “day to day life.” They have
no time to indulge in whether or not they are living a little, big or best or
worst life.
I haven’t lived a very harsh physical life (and I am
grateful for that) and so it’s difficult at times relating to someone else’s.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not aware. In my big life, I try hard to do what’s possible
to help those that I can.
Because I think we all live a mixture, I think being
aware of what kind of life we live in a given moment is important. I think it can
help us be empathetic and caring about other’s lives.
In my writing I try to incorporate life experiences, little,
big, best and worst. I try to entertain, but also hope that when a reader finishes
one of my stories, they feel the time spent with that story added to their best
life. If it does, then I’ve succeeded in living my big life.
The IWSG question of the month is: Who's perspective do you like to write from best, the hero (protagonist) or the villain (Antagonist)?
I like writing from the protagonist's POV, though I have done the villain's a few times. I like to be in the hero's head, not the villains, because if the villain is really mean or brutal, they scare the you-know-what out of me, so don't go there often. I have enough issues watching scary movies!
