this is the part that is up to you.

     People have stories,
     people are stories.

We don't create (all of) our stories,
and they don't create (all of) us.

Our stories exist in us
and we exist in them

     Which means there are no horrible people,
just horrible stories that people are trapped in.

     So don't hate anybody.

Because our stories all start the same way
     (We are born)
And our stories all end the same way
     (We die)
And that is the best, worst, and truest part of us all.
     that we are all the same.

     we are all the same.
     but we are not all the same way.
                   some of us are tragedies
                   some of us are mysteries
                   some of us are love stories

this is the part that is up to you.
       
We are beautiful not because of
     But despite our stories.

     What happens to you is just what happens to you.

     What happens to you is not your story,
          you are your story.

this is the part that is up to you,
     this the part that is you.
