How Do I Choose The Right Story?: #

Start with the story that stays with you.

It might be a quiet moment or a dramatic one. It might be something you’ve never shared before, or something you’ve told a hundred times. But if it shaped who you are, how you see the world, or what you value, you’ve got the right story.

You don’t need to cover everything. One memory is enough. A story doesn’t have to be big to be powerful. Sometimes, the simplest memories carry the deepest truth:

• A conversation you never forgot
• A moment of courage, or regret
• A turning point in your life
• A lesson learned the hard way
• A day when everything changed

If you’re stuck, ask yourself:

• What memory comes to mind when I think of resilience? Kindness? Change? Regrest?
• Is there a story I wish more people understood about someone like me?
• Is there a moment that explains something important about my family, culture, or beliefs?

And here’s a secret: you can’t choose wrong. Every honest story adds meaning. Every voice makes the chorus stronger.

If you’re unsure, just begin. Often, the right story reveals itself as you write.

You’re not just sharing a memory. You’re shaping history—and someone, somewhere, might need your words more than you’ll ever know.
