"The Stories We Tell" Inspired by Relit:

The Stories We Tell

The stories we tell

are iterations of the stories

that have always been told—

ideas that have thrived

despite years gone by

and thousands of listenings.

The stories we tell

are retold with new bits of

flair and contemporariness;

they become new

because we add ourselves.

The stories we tell

have new details

so that we become heroes,

so that we become villains,

so that we go through fire,

so that we rise again,

so that we learn the lesson,

so that we continue to hope.

The stories we tell

are the same stories

that have always been told—

go forward in your version

and add your details

in permanent ink.
