ARE WE STORYTELLERS?

Are we storytellers?

Well, audiences. Telling your story is like selling or launching an item to a business domain~ wherein, the first step you should consider is to select your prospect buyers. You only sell your item to specific set of people~ people who are ideally interested of what you're selling. Exactly as telling your story. You are not obliged to explain everything to every one. Believe me or not, all lending ears during storytelling aren't there to go start absorbing every detail, most of them are shapeshifters who pretends interested just to say they're listening. Start choosing your audience. Keep everything private if you can. You don't have to spend a lifetime giving shits to the public. You don't have to tell your workmates what happened to you last Christmas. You don't have to tell your childhood friend what you hate about them. You don't have to explain why your PS Vita or your heart got broken. If your friends are asking you what happened on your honeymoon with your wife after marriage, you don't have to answer them. If a priest started to ask you why you doubted and desecrated his god, you don't have to pretend glorious, even the fact that you converted your philosophy to atheism, you don't awe him an explanation and pretend praying. If your boyfriend contradicts your taste of loving dark things, you don't have to tell him why. Okay? So basically, there are things that we can just keep on our own. Opinions. Reasons why we do things. Processes how to accomplish something. Doubts, beliefs. Who you are. Your college plans. Perspectives or whatever shareable details. Even though everyone in this entire building can see that you are completely miserable, you don't have to tell them why. So yeah, we are storytellers. But, we don't just share our stories. Sometimes, we just keep them and pile them up, so when the time comes, that you met someone, or a circle of friends, you just have to parrot it back to them and you will feel their interest in your topic. So if you aren't someone who usually share things, well, that's understandable. It's either you aren't ready yet or you're still looking for your audience. But I'm telling you, your story is worth telling.
