You Can't Skip Chapters

You can't skip chapters.
That's not how life works.

You have to read every line,
meet every character,
and live through every page.

You won't enjoy all of it.
Some chapters will make you cry for weeks.
Some will contain things
you never wanted to read.

There will be pages
you wish you could turn faster,
and moments when you wish
the pages would never end.

But you have to keep going.

Because you never know
what the next chapter holds.

Stories keep the world revolving.
They teach us, change us,
break us, and sometimes
put us back together.

So live yours.

Read every chapter.
Feel every page.
And don't miss out
on the story that is yours to tell.
