Are You a Natural-Born Storyteller?
Please, be weird and tell us about it!
A friend of mine always laughs at the fact, that talking to me is like watching a soap opera, in a good way. Something is always going on, something interesting always happens to me, people coming and going, tension, friction, love and drama.
In his eyes, my stories are the result of me being a magnet to drama. He’s convinced, that my life consists of huge events, something dramatic, funny or very emotive all the time. If I am the one telling about it, the simplest episode of an online dating failure turns into half an hour of laughing and deep thoughts about life and the world. He thinks I have a very interesting life, that is anything but boring. I am that kind of person who always has something going on.
I don’t think I have an especially interesting life. I am working, writing, raising my kids, I go to kickboxing and running. I am reading and thinking a lot. I meet friends when I can, which happens less frequently than I’d like to. I travel whenever I can — which is even more infrequent. I am dating sometimes, but that’s all.
One thing is sure: It’s never boring. But… Nothing too important or mind-blowing. Yet, when I talk about it, and when I think about it… I see and tell it as if something was always happening to me.
