Getting My Story Straight
One of the best things about being a playwright is that I hear so many people’s stories. I could sit and listen to people telling me their stories all day!
The problem is, I sometimes internalize the stories of others, especially those who are close to me…
Making someone else’s story your own is different than pathos or empathy… it’s seeing the world through that person’s eyes.
For a short while, it can be beneficial. For extended periods of time, it can be hurtful.
Today, I realized that I had made the stories of others my own, to my own detriment. I chose to let their fears become mine, and therefore I have been unconciously pushing away opportunities, possibilities, and abundance.
Today, I chose to let go of that story and write my new reality.
