The Significance of Storytelling
IMAGE BY 1TAMARA2 VIA PIXABAY
Who am I? Who are any of us? We are all the sum of our experiences. Stories, lies, and beliefs: the things we are told, the things we learn, the things we tell ourselves. There comes a point where we might find ourselves needing to determine which statements are true at our core. Who would we be if circumstance had not dictated what choice we made? Who would we be if the choice someone else made for us had been different? How much of that is determined by the stories we carry with us? What is the significance of storytelling?
