Amen! I’m doing a small storytelling series with people and everybody says some version of, “well, I’m not very interesting.” I tell them of course they are interesting or else I wouldn’t be asking. It’s amazing how people will open up though when you give them a little space and encouragement to share. Your whole post here is spot on. Thank you.
Thank you for this reminder to think more deeply about tiny stories— and I LOVE the snapshot you included! One of my favorite things to do at flea markets and the like is to go through stacks of old snapshots and postcards. How sweet to see the single lines of script that someone wrote to their loved one about a trip or like you shared here, the pride someone has in the simple act of baking cookies! 💚

Boxes of photos are my favorite too! In fact I'm working on a post about them, and that experience of flipping through, for next month. :)
Can’t wait to read it!
