Description:
Knights of the Rectangle Table is a short story I wrote to demonstrate the importance of forgiveness and friendship at a young age. As a young artist still growing myself, I have had to deal with the difficulties of being expected to be and act as a "proper" young adult for the sake of others, although in my heart I still felt/feel very much the spontaneous, creative, giddy little boy that I am. It was never the realists, telling me to "get a real job" or to "stop acting a fool" that made me want to do better (want to grow up). It was my friends that have helped me become the man I want to be, by allowing me to grow in my own way, at my own pace, and by forgiving me and allowing me to learn from my mistakes, in turn, earning my respect for them, allowing me to want to learn and want to grow.
I believe Knights of the Rectangle Table will speak to all, because we all question how we grow and who we grow with. It is important to love and forgive, when your brain is still developing especially, but every human in someway or another, simply longs to be loved, to be believed in. We must all find the strength within us to love and help all those around us, as well as helping ourselves. For helping and believing in others will help them love and believe in us, making us all the best we can possibly be... or in my words, making us all legendary, just like the knights (or heroes), we hold in our hearts. Thank you.
