Quote by Nina Jean Slack

“While we are living, our lives are like that of an open book, still being written. Eventually, our book closes for us, and to others, it will be as if we never existed at all. Those of us who write down our life story, will leave a little piece of us behind when we're gone.” -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)”

“In a world where minds are becoming idle and artificial intelligence is taking over In a world where one person steps on another in order to reach higher In a world where flesh eats flesh for taste and not for survival In a world where people are unable to read character and are easily influenced by talks and smiles In a world where respect is slowly becoming unheard off and disrespect is taking over In a world where intoxication of all sorts fill the minds of young and old In a world where one person has a mountain of food whilst the other has none at all In a world where charity is done to gain views and followers In a world where humanity is unable to feel each others pain and that of all earth's creatures Oh my In this beautiful world Humanity has lost its purpose”

“The principal advantage of narrative writing is that it assists us place our life experiences in a storytelling template. The act of strict examination forces us to select and organize our past. Narration provides an explanatory framework. Human beings often claim to understand events when they manage to formulate a coherent story or narrative explaining what factors caused a specific incident to occur. Stories assist the human mind to remember and make decisions based on informative stories. Narrative writing also prompts periods of intense reflection that leads to more writing that is ruminative. Contemplative actions call for us to track the conscious mind at work rendering an accounting of our weaknesses and our strengths, folly and wisdom.”

“Narrative storytelling enables us to derive ideas from the disparate facts, incongruent motives, conflicting emotions, and other absurdities inherent in living dynamically. The narrative that we select to tell our life story acts as a lens that assigns value to our shape shifting experiences: it pulls humor from catastrophes; it places a patina of irony over our checkered history; it allows us to explore our pessimism; and it provides a platform from which vantage point we can optimistically view the future.”
