We Write History

 History is a broad subject. It can be talked about in many different senses. History of the earth, history of animals, history of DNA, history of a relationship, the list goes on and on. History to me is different for every single person. No two people have exactly the same history. I think that is really special.  As a society we have a general history consisting of wars, natural disasters and many other things. But no two people experienced any of those pieces of  history the same.  This is where fiction comes in. To one person, fiction maybe the truth, but to another, it may be a lie. The world has "fiction" writers, but who's to say they're not writing their own truth? Maybe it is a glimpse of what's to come, and only they know. In a way, history and fiction can play off of one another, and yes, history as proof, it has facts, and fiction may not. But maybe, just maybe, fiction just doesn't have them YET.
