Доброго времени суток.

This is originally what kept me from telling my stories. It was the early 2000s when I first felt the desire to tell stories from my own life. But I hesitated. What right did I have—a young twentysomething from a loving, middle-class home—to share my stories? They weren’t painful enough. They weren’t dark enough. I should keep them to myself. It wasn’t until I took a chance at an open mic night in Oklahoma City, where I shared a story of your ***run-of-the-mill heartbreak***, that I realized people connect with stories no matter how big or tragic or small and sweet they are, as long as they are real.

Спасибо.
