I may have been told once or twice that I am awful at story telling. I tend to just get to the point and deliver it. No fluff or pizazz, maybe a few wild hand gestures but I admit, pretty dull. I know people who are great at it and keep me hanging on a thread to hear the end. I admire their story telling talent and appreciate the creativity that comes with it. But a story does not need to have a grand delivery to make it interesting. I believe a story with an elaborate delivery usually means it's fiction and I will take for what it's worth. I have been told a bit too many of those in my day and always hold a bit of caution in my heart.
In reality, a story can just be a story.
We all have a tale to tell, whether it comes from our creative side or it comes from a life lived so far. Do we share it with our voice, with a pen, with a computer that I am typing on right now? Or do we keep it to ourselves and just keep on living? I suggest sharing it - in any creative way you feel represents you. It might be jazzy or a little mundane like mine, but it is yours and worth sharing. My man friend, who I am beyond proud of, is sharing a version of his story so far with a new music album this week. He is great at story telling. His music tells his story but also lends the listener to create their own. It truly is an art and something I know I can learn from when I continue to tell my own story.
What kind of story teller are you?
