Stories: A Love Letter by Greg Ruth is an interesting piece of writing that explores our innate ability as well as the need to express ourselves through storytelling which she calls the most ubiquitous form of art. He writes that since the beginning of our history as human species, our natural talent to express has been there and has only been gotten more and more complex and diverse as our cultures have evolved.

Since storytelling is such an important and powerful aspect of our social lives so is the illustration. He then asks an important question on what kind of story we want to tell during our time on this planet. I think that this is a good question to ask because the expression of ourselves whether that’s an illustration or a poem, or a book or a film, tends to last longer than ourselves. It’s important to think about leaving something inspiring and useful behind.
