Taking time to understand and actively listen to another person's story begins to glue humanity together. We take the time to hear the point of view of others. By listening to each other's stories we validate each other. We have more commonalities than we give credit to, but by listening and sharing our stories we connect. By sharing we become united in our collection of diverse emotions and experiences. It is important to know that the honesty in our voice binds us together. We all have a story to tell: our history for they are the totality or our lives. We all walk many different paths in life and we each have a story to tell. Our lives are stories that we constantly invite others to help us create, share and live, for our stories convey the meaning of our lives, experiences that shape truths we come to believe. We are the sum of the stories we tell ourselves, and those stories are necessarily while we exhale our memories. We all have dilemmas, a story to tell or something to vent about. All of our stories no matter who we are can truly make a difference in someone else's life. All of our lives are important, for our lives are truly meaningful, thoughts on who we are and what we are about.

A story begging to be told of our successes and our failures while trying to express something deeper. You don't have to be powerful, famous, or extraordinary.
