“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
— Joan Didion
No pressure or anything, but Joan D would have you believe telling your story is a matter of life or death. In fairness, I don’t think you’ll strop breathing if you don’t write. But I do believe that when you’re called to write it’s hard to ignore. You have that desire to get words down and you feel better when you do it.
There’s a story that only you can tell. Because you have a unique perspective, experience, and a way of expressing yourself. Other people may have a similar idea or concept- but the execution is all yours. People are out there right now that need this story so get busy writing!
Journal prompt: Who is out there that needs your story? Write a description of them.
