A friend of mine told me to read Norwegian Wood. "Read the first chapter, promise."
He was right.

Haruki's character talked of memories. How one says "i'll never forget you". But despite the effort, time will always slowly decay the memory... to just some thing that happened. No longer a memory worth remembering.

"The thought fills me with an almost unbearable sorrow. Because Naoko never loved me."

Too familiar.

I once told Lester to create his new story. A new chapter in his book. Progress with it and not dwell on the last chapter that just ended. Now, i'm stuck in the same situation. Finding a new story.

Still searching.

Books will have to keep me company for the meantime. They lend you their stories-- that it will help you reflect on the story you've just created and hoping that it will inspire you for the next.
