Tell your story.
Not to impress anyone.
Not to avoid disappointing anyone.
Tell your story because it's your story.
Listen to other people's stories.
We learn so much when we do this.
I have talked about this with T.
Mike didn't serve a mission, however he has served multiple deployments to Iraq.
When Jackson came home, there were a lot of emotions.
Mike told him about how he experienced some emotions regarding the following:
When he was gone for a year, or longer, he came home a different person. He had experienced things that the people at home had not experienced. The people at home expected that he was coming home the same person... ready to jump right back into life. They were confused as to why he wasn't the same.
Listening to each other's stories, without pushing our agenda onto them, is critically important.
Loving people and supporting people through their current is so great.
