Way of Kings (7)

Because I believe we create our own meaning in life, a lot of my life is often viewed through a medieval fantasy lens. 

I think I do this partly because of my ADHD and partly because I feel that sometimes it's easier to find meaning in life when it's looked at through the lens of a good story, and my favorite stories always featured dragons and wizards and knights. 

I found comfort and purpose in looking at life through the lens of Becoming in the philosophical lens. Specifically the idea of a philosopher King (with my little home as my tiny kingdom). 

I read some of the more positive ones to my sons so they can hear the story of their fathers life through a more approachable lens.
