STORIES
Everyone is unique. But we are all human. We live in a society that shapes us. That's why our lives can be similar in some ways. These similarities help us in many ways. For example, in establishing meaningful relationships. But they can also sometimes give us a few wrinkles.
In the stories within myself, I try to show and describe some of these tendencies with examples. They can serve as inspiration for you. Maybe you recognize yourself, maybe not.
Swing
The more we swing, the more we yearn to find balance. Does that sound strange?
In the story The Swing, I show the human tendency towards balance through the story of Lucie. But balance is not one stable point, the same throughout life. It is natural that balance changes many times during life. This is growth, the basic building block of everything that is alive. What does not change is dead. In order to change our balance, we must swing. Just like Lucie swings in the story The Swing.
Mirror
A look in the mirror. Why do we actually look in it? To get real feedback?
We look in a classic mirror every day. We check the condition of our hairstyle, the cleanliness of our teeth, the circles under our eyes... We get real feedback. We then use this to make changes if necessary. We comb our hair, we floss our teeth.
Can we use human mirrors in a similar way? When we see our unwanted qualities in another person, we get angry with them. We usually don't make any changes in ourselves.
Pepa's story brings one such human mirror closer to you. It offers inspiration on how to handle human mirrors.
