I've been working on my taxes this weekend, and when I came to the line that said "profession," I had to smile.
The correct answer is journalist and author.
But in my heart of hearts, I'm a builder. A builder of relationships. Of stories. I love to get to know people....and get to know people better over time....with each conversation, each get-together, each gathering a new layer, a new chapter.
My favorite stories have substance, depth...and leave people saying or thinking, "I'm glad I read that."
But you can't fit all of that on one line.
You will never fit on one line. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is true satisfaction when you leave people thinking, "I'm glad I read that."
ReplyDeleteEqually satisfying is knowing you've found the right words to accurately paint that picture. It's a skill many take for granted.
