I won't call it a night
#WritcoStoryPrompt45
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from The Night Slowly Came by Kate Chopin:

I am losing my interest in human beings; in the significance of their lives and their actions. Someone has said it is better to study one man than ten books. I want neither books nor men; they make me suffer…
Yes we can start losing interest in the things around us and sometimes in human beings. Yes and this can be as a result of many reasons we came through in the past, or we are going through in the present. I'm not in agreement with the author in this case. Rather I would like to go through the aspects in which we can overturn under such circumstances to our advantage and start moving through in life simply like
nothing happened...
According to the author and the excerpt in this case it is most likely in our teens and in our adulthood.
Because during childhood we cannot go through such situations and so this stage of our life cannot be a time when we are going through this in our life. Now because we have a clear picture of when it is happening that we are able to dive into the story. This can be the case with anyone. Anyone irrespective of gender can go through such situations in life. Gender is not a limiting factor in such circumstances. This isn't about growing up or biological. Here it is very likely that we are confronted with a situation outside us like think of a work place, a school or something of that nature like a community environment. In a community everyone is considered to be an adult irrespective of their age. Whether you are too young or too old in a community you're expected to give in a community than expect from a community. There are no role models in a community, we ourselves are our own role models. We don't have time for learning in a community. We do and start learning in the process. Here are different people of different gender, age and background. So we cannot expect everyone to be of the same level of knowledge or intelligence. We grow the community and thereby grow ourselves. A community can be a place where many people come together with a single purpose of doing and learning. It can be a place where people come together to learn to write or experienced writers join together to write a book or about something. Unless we participate we will lose interest in what we're doing, so if you don't find it interesting the first thing you can do is to leave that place or quit before you start feeling you are unwelcome in a place. Go to places where you're much more comfortable with everyone around you.
Instead of trying to be someone else in an alien place we need to be our own. We can look at different reasons for someone getting into a bad and ugly situation. Let's remember it is never ugly anywhere. People don't just attract others because of their face. Most of the time it is the outgoing nature of people that you are attracted or rejected. We need to develop a life of self-worth as we are growing. All people don't get the chance to grow to their full potential. Some people who is a getaway to grow up in better environments, well don't get to keep to the standard till the end. So we can conclude by saying that everyone is getting equal opportunity at least in a fraction of people in the world. When we're faced with challenges we have to look into ourselves rather than trying to find out who has the cause for our present bad situation. When we can get over our challenges we are considered to be role models and leaders. The excerpt is very clear in expressing without stating it that we must look into ourselves rather than to look in someone else to be the reason for our past or present failures. The author also tries to share some of her experience before arriving at the truth. Things like what we learned from our teachers in school, to colleagues in the workplace and the friends with whom we have spent the most time with.
When we can find no one else to blame we try to look into ourselves., everything that has happened in one's life and the experience we get from it becomes the best tool for survival. When we can control and direct our feelings and thoughts we begin to conquer fear, hopelessness and helplessness. Life is so complex that we come face to face with so many situations every day. It challenges us to give our best. We need to get the hang of it.
Once we start feeling comfortable with ourselves we start feeling comfortable with others, in love and in life we need to give something in order to receive back something. Getting into bad habits like complaining, cursing or self harm can come in the way to begin the healing. Let me delve deeper into a time we call as adolescence a stage in life between childhood and adulthood. This is the time we come across all the changes happening to us from bodily changes to changes in our way of thinking This stage is going to decide our immediate future of what we are going to be in adulthood. Being careful during this time is...
