📖
Not a dramatic one — just a true one. And true stories are what create real connection in any conversation.
🚪
Don't summarise your whole life. Find one moment, one experience, one thing that shaped you. That's the door in.
💡
The event is the surface. What you felt, what you learned, how it changed you — that's where the connection actually forms.
🧩
Unresolved stories are often the most honest ones. 'I'm still figuring this out' connects people more than a neat conclusion.
🤝
That's why it's worth sharing. Not for sympathy — for the moment when they say 'me too.'
