My two cents…
Stories should transport you into a moment. Relate to you in precisely the way you needed it.
The power of story moves people. And it's never been about the words—it's about lived experience. It’s about empathy. That’s what transforms stories into maps.
So let’s leave the scarcity/fear/shame tactics behind. Let’s hand our fellow human a map. Send them somewhere worth going.
If the destination is what you said it’d be, they’ll trust you. And that’s how a one-time fling becomes a life-long relationship.
It’s that simple.
