#but I went to bed crying over Kaladin's choice
Text
Have you ever come to a part in a story where a character made a choice, for good or for ill, and just reading about that choice and its impact directly influenced your real life outlook?
#I've had a few#But the Honour Chasm scene in The Way of Kings#and Kaladin deciding to try just once more#and deciding that even though he would likely be killed tomorrow#he would learn the men's names before he went to bed so that he could be a good leader to them#changed something in me in terms of charity and hospitality#I struggle with some social anxiety and if I don't click fairly quickly with a person it can be easy for me to add them to my#'probably difficult or scary to interact with' list#but I went to bed crying over Kaladin's choice#because I wanted to be that person#who chooses to love based not on how easy it is to love a person#but because they are worthy of love no matter what#and as we see in the case of Bridge Four that kind of love can be transformative.#I haven't turned into a Kaladin in that regard - I can only dream - but that scene gave me the drive to decide 'I am done with letting#social anxiety dictate to me when I should love and when not. I can take the lead.'#cosmere#way of kings#brandon sanderson#Coreander's Old Books#reflections#choices#life#kaladin stormblessed#stormlight archive
