2 out of 3
I’ve probably blogged about this before; I know it’s an idea that I contemplate often.
The idea is: If I know two Things about you and can guess a third Thing correctly…then you might be living out someone else’s boring stereotype.
Nothing wrong with being boring.
But I’m personally less curious about the Ivy League grad from my hometown who moved to NYC and works in investment banking, and I’m much more curious about the former Broadway pianist who survived Stage III cancer and became a city planner in SoCal.
I’m less curious about the dancer who loves yoga and being vegan, and I’m more curious about the physician who swam the 20.5-mile Catalina Channel and trains in archery and race car driving.
All of these are real people, equally imbued with human dignity, value, strength, and worth.
It’s just that I find some stories more interesting than others. It makes me want to write an interesting story myself.
Whatever your story is, I hope it brings light to your life and nourishment to your soul.
