We’re all storytellers. Yes, even you! Whether you’re aware of it or not, you spend your days spinning stories. From the moment you wake up and recount that weird dream to your partner, to the bedtime tale you share with your kids, or even the quick anecdote you tell a coworker over coffee—your life is full of stories. And here’s the best part: storytelling isn’t just fun, it’s essential.
Over the past few years, we’ve lost something precious—something many of us didn’t even realize we were missing until it was gone. Community. Not the kind you “follow” or “like” online, but the kind where someone borrows a cup of sugar, where kids ride bikes together down the block, where spontaneous laughter rings out over a shared meal.
We’ve all been there. You make a plan, set some goals, or even consider doing something as simple as going outside, and your brain responds with a solid NOPE.
It can be frustrating, especially when you feel like you should be doing something productive, active, or at least engaged with the world around you. But here’s the thing: Sometimes, resisting action is a signal that you need a different approach—or even a little space to be still.
