On the stories of "strangers"
I'm a sucker for good stories. It's a human thing, we've been telling ourselves stories for thousands of years. We told stories way before we even devised a way of preserving them.There's something poetic about the frailty of those first stories.
I like Hollywood stories, full of larger-than-life personalities, characters whose lives impact thousands and millions of people. But there's something to be said about "smaller" stories, about common people, about the inner struggle in every one of us.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle—Definitely NOT Plato
I've been reading Outback Overflight and Go West Young Woman since they began. I'd usually tell you it's not my cup of tea, but I enjoy reading them. I am inspired by them. I want to live a story like that.
But it's not like I can just go for a walk, wish for a life-changing story and wait for it to call me out of the blue. I believe I have to go do something else and the story will be right under my nose, where I won't see it until after it's done. I wonder if The road to Wikimania 2015 will be it.
