Whatever the reason, we generate the meaning we need in the moment. The act of reinterpretation is fundamentally an act of agency; it gives is a sense of control and confidence at exactly the moment we feel out of control and lacking confidence.*
Bruce Feiler

Keep asking questions. Colour outside the lines. Draw your own maps. Create your own legends.**
Ekere Maria Hadessa Talliet

Whatever’s happening right now,
I’ve got to remember it’s a story, and,
If I stop and pinch myself
to get my attention,
I can tell it differently –
Sometimes even with a flourish.
