STORYTELLER

"It's important that we share our experiences with other people. 
Your story will heal you, and your story will heal somebody else. 
When you tell your story you free yourself, 
and you give other people permission
 to acknowledge their story as well."
 - Iyanla Vanzant


Currently I am reading 'Talking to Strangers' by Malcolm Gladwell and a few lines stood out for me. First: "Today we are now thrown into contact all the time with people whose assumptions, perspectives, and backgrounds are different from our own." Second: "If we were more thoughtful as a society - if we were willing to engage in some soul-searching about how we approach and make sense of strangers - she would not have ended up dead in a Texas jail cell." And third: "If I can convince you of one thing in this book, let it be this: Strangers are not easy."
