Try Collecting Stories and Sharing Them With Passion

5 min readJul 11, 2022

Picture it. A room in your home you call the museum room.

(Yes, I know, I’ve been watching too many late-night reruns of The Golden Girls. Thank you, Sophia.)

In that room, various items from different tourist destinations, souvenirs if you must, sit on display. Although tastefully arranged, the artifacts completely cover the shelves and surfaces. You spent time and money at various tourist destinations picking out just the right memory, and you want to display them. In order to share them, you must invite people to your museum; however, the invite is usually after the conversation and the passion of the moment has passed. Bringing your friends to the museum becomes anticlimactic.

You also have volumes of pictures and postcards that you use to share your trips, and you have even saved the travel brochures. Paging through the volumes, however, doesn’t convey the passion you experienced during your trip. As you are sharing your story with friends, however, you find that their focus is on you and not your photographs.

The stories of what you saw, what you experienced, and who you talked with are capturing the attention of your friends because your voice conveys the passion of what you experienced.
