what's your story??

We talked in one of my classes yesterday about how everyone has a story.
Everyone has a backstory, something other people can relate to, something that makes them human.

There are websites and books DEDICATED to telling your story.
www.postsecret.com
"Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs"
Story Corps - on NPR or www.storycorps.net
"Listening is an Act of Love" by David Isay

Then, we had everyone write down an unusual fact about themselves...something that not many people knew. Just to get a small glimpse at their story.

And people write down things like "I worked for Conan O'Brian" and "I have a metal rod in my back" and other interesting, unusual facts. Facts that make you realize that they DO have this amazing story to tell.

And then I look at myself.

I have yet to experience anything extraordinary...



If you were to tell your life story today...would anyone even listen??
