Your Story
Contributed by Cory Ahern
Think of life as a landscape, not a timeline. It’s a level playing field – until you hit a canyon – no warning, just a sudden drop off. Then, it’s a journey to achieve new level ground – which winds up being a mountain top, and your new normal, which levels out until a still wider canyon of life and tangents opens up before you.
We aren’t measurable by our linear journey, for our canyons and summits have incalculable crevasses of time and life in them.
To tell your story is to iron out all the parts that are woven together to build your structure.
To understand what you value and what holds you; what carries you and what cherishes you; what blocks you and what protects you – this is to witness the tapestry as the artist sees it, and to find peace with the process.
You cannot separate the layers of yourself and remain whole; you accept that interweaving of good and bad as a complete self and allow yourself to process your life and become more you.
You choose you.
Live your story to the fullest!
