“Oh, to be a Storyteller”
A few weeks ago, I shared my retrospection of what I had gained from the storytelling programme I was soon to be graduating from, but I never told you what I had written at the beginning as I embarked on that year long journey to discover that part of myself I had so long denied.

Except leading up to the event, I wondered if I had made the right choice. I’ve been struggling these past few weeks with the dreaded oscillation of hating my day job but liking being able to pay for things. Holiday season makes it ...
