Never Alone

Stories are a universal form of communication. Both stories and the way we tell them have evolved over time. We are drawn to tales that scoop us up and take us on an adventure or that let us walk in another’s shoes. We like seeing the world through the eyes of others and gaining new perspectives or insights. We love rooting for the underdog and seeing justice doled out to those that deserve it.

A story takes a mess of words all matted together to help us shape, share, and convey some thought or truth. Sometimes these stories are funny, heartbreaking, inspiring, mind-opening, or extremely entertaining. Stories are how we share our lives with the world. Not only our lives, but our hopes, feelings, dreams, and even our fears. Stories can be a cautionary tale or a way to empathize with others. Stories keep us together, connected, and remind us we are never alone.
