Apologies for the lack of posts recently! Before this I was busy with exams and when exams ended, I was busy with... life. I have to be honest with you guys that Ive been slightly reluctant to conduct any interviews because they entail deep, heavier conversations that I wasnt ready to take on, especially after all that mugging during finals. But rest assured that Im still determined to continue this project :) Ill be away for most of December, but I intend to continue talking to the people I meet, so watch this space! P.S. Ive been reading quite a bit lately, and I just want to share one of the many quotes Ive come across: ...most of our greatest fears are relational. Its all that stuff about forgiveness and risking rejection and learning to love. We think stories are about getting money and security, but the truth is, it all comes down to relationships. I tried not to think about that stuff, but I couldnt get it out of my mind. I knew a story was calling me. I knew I was going to have to see if my father was alive. And once you know what it takes to live a better story, you dont have a choice. Not living a better story would be like deciding to die, deciding to walk around numb until you die, and its not natural to want to die. -- Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years At this point in my life, vulnerability is still an important part of who I am, as well as of the relationships I have. But Im learning that theres also something beyond it, and that is the greater story that these people and I are living. Interviews with people remind me that in order to live a better story, I need to venture beyond my comfort zone, even if my pride is at stake.
