Storytelling is how we build memories. I like to just let em roll and see if I notice anything new. The idea that we can only tell stories exactly once to each audience and then have to seal them away forever is… kinda lonely.
yeah, some of my events that became stories have so many layers and moving parts i can tell the same event five times without repeating much beyond the major pivotal moments. you’ll get a wildly different story each time depending on why i’m telling the story.
That’s one of the cool things about stories, IMO. the narrative of the same events can change dramatically depending on the context in which they are being retold. You can tell a lot about why someone retells a story based on what parts stay the same, what parts change (and how), and what parts get dropped in later retellings.
