True Stories

It is important to have true stories. One of my students had been told stories about her birth. "My ear was mangled and had to be rebuilt," she said. Her ear was perfectly normal with zero scars. She had a collection of incorrect stories about her body. This caught my attention because I had this too, growing up. Finding the truth about my story was grounding and important, no matter how painful. The desire for truth was like gravity, always pushing on me.
