Quote

We all have stories we're living and telling ourselves.

Each person's life is a story that is telling itself in the living.

We are made of the stories we have heard and read all through our lives.

We don't only tell stories when we set out to tell stories, our memory tells us stories. That is, what we get to keep from our experiences is a story.

In this universe, and this existence, where we live with this duality of whether we exist or not and who are we, the stories we tell ourselves are the stories that define the potentialities of our existence. We are the stories we tell ourselves.

If we don't tell our own stories, no one else will.

A story is how we construct our experiences.

I think we need to tell stories that reflect our world.

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

In my family, telling stories is just a way of life.
