It is unfortunately so disappointing to me to find out that people cannot tell stories. I mean, I honestly kind of have this assumption that everyone can tell a story - something that happened to them, at least, if not something they make up or whatever - and it is so unsettling every time for me to discover that there are actually people who cannot tell a story [well].

#I discovered to my horror that my last roommate from college who I'd known since technically I was in elementary school #COULD NOT tell a story. like she'd tell me something that happened to her and by the end I was like '...THAT was the point? oh my god. -_-'#like apparently sometimes it doesn't matter how dramatic you sound or the inflections in your voice or anything.#sometimes people just cannot tell a story that ends anywhere near as interesting as it started and that is......oh it bothers me.#maybe I'm biased because I'm a writer (YES) but even my socially awkward ass can tell a fuckin' story.#(my best friend has told me before that they love the way I tell stories AND my best friend is also a writer SO...)#however it also makes me think...ah. you know what? maybe my ability to write and tell stories ACTUALLY IS important.#if not everyone can tell a story well then maybe my contribution actually is worthwhile. but I don't know. I could be wrong.
