We Are Books
There are people who never finish reading books. They quickly get disappointed in one and soon open another.
And there are those who can't read. They know the alphabet, write without mistakes, but unfortunately, they can't delve into the meaning of words and letters.
A book could also be written about you. Though no, you are the book!
The writer is currently writing you. He invents different stories from your life, but only those that he writes down actually happen. And the discarded ideas turn into deja vu. He himself doesn't know how this book will end, although you probably have an idea. You just don't know when.
The novel that begins with your birth is still being written. It includes everything: childhood, youth, first love, disappointments, joys, laughter. Of course, there's plenty of drama — it can't do without it. The writer wants you to become a bestseller. So don't get upset about the complex parts, they are just there to captivate the reader.
In you, like in me, there is no bright cover or unusual font. Our authors couldn't afford a designer. Everything is done manually, and that's good. Our strength is not in the cover.
When we go into circulation and end up on bookshelves among thousands of other books, I hope they will place us together. And let us gather dust for a long time. You will tell me your secrets, and I will share mine.
May an entire eternity pass before we are bought and part ways. But when that happens, know this: I won't forget the smell of your pages.
The End.

How cool it would be if each one of us write a book about our own story.
We are always hero in our story but it'll be worth it if we write a book about the time when we were villains in someone else's story:)
In such a case, you'll not be your own reader again:(
Thank you for your comment.
Pardon me for asking, are you from Kazakhstan, @alexanderkass ?
Yes
Thanks.
I like the idea to be a book: white pages in younger age, more and more text until sealing after death... But I think I prefer to be the author of MY book myself ;-))
I also like to think that way! But what about randomness? Encounters that turn our lives upside down, accidents, illnesses that deprive us of reason — aren't these chapters we are not allowed to write? Perhaps we co-author and are only responsible for the inner world of our character? But even this inner world is shaped by the influence of randomness. What do you think?
Of course there are these external influences (how grateful I am that you speak of coincidences and not fate ;-)) - and we write our book precisely by the way we deal with them! What it does to us when we find ourselves in situations that we didn't choose ourselves, but that we can utilise or transform.
