I absolutely love you.

Not you specifically. But ‘you’ as in the general population. People. Lives. Your experiences. Your stories.

It’s not merely because I am certifiably fuelled by social interaction, but because I am just so interested in what you have to say. Listening to a stranger’s story -whether it’s your entire life’s journey or a tiny snippet of your day- gives me genuine joy. If I’ve chatted with you on the street or met you in a coffee shop, you can be sure that your story now occupies a little piece of my heart.

My mission is to share the love of personal stories with the world. I advocate for the impact that paying attention to someone else can have on your life. The second that we open our eyes to the details of someone’s story is the very same moment that we ourselves grow. Caring about that small glimpse into another life will change the way we respect others, treat ourselves, and understand the world around us.
