An Exceptional Page.

He was tired. His hair such a mess. His room a reflection of his inner state. Desaster. A t-shirt bought so long ago. Where he still felt that he was someone. He could not think clair. Outside the sun was trying to catch his attention. He rejected her. She kept her beauty. Her dignity. And warmth. She was smart. Looking for other ways to bring light in his soul and heart. Next to him a cup of coffee. Cold. No life. A spoon on the floor. More dirt. Sadest scene. His feet free but somehow chained. A life with no progress. He had to write. He was a writer. No inspiration.

He took the paper. Wrinkled as an old face. Tried some lines. There was something about it. The paper was different. Each time he tried to put something on the paper which was not in line with who he was, the paper seemed to refuse it. The paper was his mentor. In silence. The paper was patient. He was not. Giving him a hard time. That is what mentors are supposed to do, otherwise there is no growth. From the inside out. The paper saw that he was getting frustrated. No mercy. 'Try harder, darling', it whispered.

In the moment where he would completely lose it, the paper accepted one line. It was a line that mentioned his true emotions. 'Good, there you go!' Something that he had to learn in the course of his life. A block was removed. A stream of energy freed. He felt things moving now. The expression on his face excited. He wrote for hours and hours. The mentor listened. To every word. Every single emotion. Every hidden meaning. It bursted into the open. An explosion of life. Passionate scene.

He was transforming. The exceptional qualities hidden inside came to the surface. A diamond. The paper walked the whole story with him. Travelling together to every corner of his soul. He finally understood what his life was all about. He had to let go his past. Clean all dirt inside his soul. Return to the core of his being. Right in the middle of true authenticity. A light shining. Stronger and stronger. The mentor always believed in him. He had to do the work. He took the assignment. So well. Then his whole life arrived in the next chapter.

The paper mentor continued to write the exceptional story while he looked in the mirror. A gift so pure. He was not the same man anymore. His mask had fallen off. He finally saw his real face. Impressed he was. Gorgeous and charming. Sexy as hell. His old t-shirt did not match his current state of mind any longer. The universe brought him a brand new suit. Together with a stunning perfume. They say that when you show your true colors - and you have good intentions for yourself and others - the whole world works in your favour. It is our duty to set the example, more leads always to more.
