There's something about the moment when you finish a book...when you understand everything that the author wanted to say, and all the metaphors makes perfect sense...
And the moment when we realize all the subtle hints that the author had been giving through out the book or the series...
When I reach the end of a book what I find is that the author has been a pretty smart guy. He hid the hints in places where you would least expect them, places which actually seem damn boring like some geek muttering some crap. And just like the main characters we also fail to recognize them. And when the climax comes and we realise those hints, we usually flip back through the pages and find it right there! And the first thing that we say? " How did I miss this?"
So what's the point of this? How can a book teach you to deal with life?
And the answer lies in accepting that your life is just like a book...You're the hero of this book. You'll find those major characters and the minor ones, the sweet hearts and the nemesis. You have got the highs and the lows, the victories and many defeats. There will be times when you will be love and be loved and times when you'll forget and be forgotten.
Just like a story there will be certain moments when you would want to run away. For once not fight but flight, pour your anger on everyone, break the glass, cut your hand and escape the city. Things will feel incomplete. Every person you talk to makes you feel like shit. Every task you willing try to do would seem unimportant to the mental battle going on in your mind.
But in this moment of stress think what a hero would possibly do. Will they give up? Will they give in? Or will they rise to the occasion and be the goddamn hero they're supposed to be?
Even when it feels tough, keep fighting, if you're going through hell keep going. Don't look back. Face it like the warrior you are, like the hero you are.
For once choose fight not flight.
And remember that the situation which is the most tensed one in a story is the situation after which everything will sort itself out. You'll understand all those subtle hints of your life and then you'll look back in time and say-this time with this smirk on your face-" How did I miss this?"
And if you can't say that when it's the end of the book then chill out. There's a sequel on it's way ;)
