Stories are amazing things. Any story can be interesting if written or told with quality. There are so many ways a story can be told! It can be movies, books, music, verbal, or games. Success for a story can be when someone finds meaning in it, or when it engages and traps an audience. It can help someone escape a reality they are unsatisfied with, or encourage them to make a better reality for themselves. In a story's best moments it can inspire people to create their own story, which keeps stories alive and starts the wonderful cycle over again. They can touch feelings within us which we have tried to forget or lose-like love or loss. Empathy, anger, apathy, jealousy, despair, and hope, all of these have a place which can help us view a new perspective. Without stories we cannot hope to expand and better ourselves. With the passing on, survival, and new creation of stories, throughout time, humanity will never be lost.
