Sharing stories in an inherently human thing. We pass them down from generation to generation, and something about the way they're told keep us coming back for more. For every person on this planet, there's a story that's waiting to be heard, shared or retold. For each of those stories, there will be something that stands out - maybe a sentence or phrase, or even just a word - something that sticks with you. This is the phrase you mull over in difficult times.This is the sentence you think about to spur yourself on when the going gets tough. This is the word you get tattooed on your body, or printed on a poster, or worn around your wrist on a bracelet. Because this is the reason we tell stories. We tell them to survive.

Although there is no way I will ever meet every person whose story has crisscrossed with mine, I know for a fact that because our stories have touched - even just for a millisecond - I will never be completely alone.
