Life is a story, and narrative is at its core. I’ve read hundreds of books and plan to read hundreds more— because the best stories, whether in books, movies, or TV, capture something real. There’s a concept in writing that the more specific the detail, the more relatable it becomes. Consider: “There were clothes scattered on the ground” versus “A faded pink baby sock lay deep in the mud, pounded down by thousands of feet.” A vividly painted moment allows the viewer’s mind to adapt it, comparing it with their own remembered experience.

Everyone is living an incredibly personal, unique life; yet at times, we’re all living the same one. We crave comfort, react instinctively, and try to make sense of the world. We move through life moment to moment, elbow to elbow with others who, despite entirely different circumstances, are working through identical emotions. We may not realize it, but we’re all navigating parallel stories. The things that make us human are both deeply personal and universally shared.

This project is about that paradox— being so personal that it becomes universal. It’s about capturing the specific in a way that resonates with anyone, seeing meaning in ordinary moments, and finding connection across experiences.
