Stories have the power to connect people of different ages and backgrounds; next door neighbors and those who live halfway across the world. Our Real Life stories that we share face-to-face over a cup of coffee, in a personal essay or blog post, or through a one-line tweet, and those fictional tales that we spend time with to go on an adventure, find others like us, or learn about the people around us… they all have the power to connect us. To make us realize we’re not alone. To help us see that we’re unique and loved.
When we know we’re loved, it can change our lives. It can help make the world a better place.
