Chicken Soup for the Soul heals souls?

September 22, 2010

Here is option C for Canon’s internal photo contest. Geometry homework (and some Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul as prop – remember those???). There is still option D because my boyfriend insists that he has a brilliant idea, so let’s give him a chance. Option D will be the last one.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul – I read a whole bunch of those Chicken Soup for the Soul books as a teenager because it was cool to read them, not because it did any healing for my soul. My soul didn’t need any healing. I was a happy teenager. Who needs a book to tell them how to be happy and appreciate life at thirteen? I just wanted to be hip and happenin’ and in with the times, so I can chime in the Chicken Soup conversations among my peers and say, “Oh yeah, that story was totally the saddest,” and “Oh yeah, that’s my favourite story like, ever,” and “Oh yeah, that story is exactly my life right now,” bla bla bla and then act all deep.

But even still – who needs a ‘motivational’ book to tell them how to be happy and appreciate life at twenty three? Thirty? Forty? Fifty? Not me; I guess because I don’t really understand. Motivation comes from you, not from someone else’s words on paper. But that’s just my opinion and I, on our stage.
