New stories

I wrote about how I needed new stories:

Even started watching a new anime - I find inspiration in great storytelling, in tales and stories that draw parallels to our own real lives. Sometimes when you’re low on fuel, it’s not just a physical refresh you need but an emotional one.

We need food to live but we need stories to live for.

We can survive on the bare minimum of bread and water, but to persist—and definitely to thrive—we need stories that we tell ourselves, to one another.

What kind of person am I?
What kind of society are we?
What’s the purpose of life? Of my life?
What’s worth fighting for?

We’re meaning-making creatures.

And when new seasons, new life stages sweep all the old dusty stories away, we need to find and make new meaning.

New stories.
