Ever seen the movie Big Fish?
One of my favorites.

My grandfathers used to tell stories bigger than life
As big as an 11-year-old could dream.

Back then, they felt unimaginable.
Now, as an adult, I laugh thinking my nephews wouldn’t believe half the sh*t I’ve actually done.

I keep coming back to the ending scene - where Edward Bloom is carried to the river, and along the way every character from his life shows up.

The circus performers. The friends.
The people he touched.

All those moments. All those stories.
They weren’t fleeting. Not to him. Not to them.

Because in the end, it’s the faces in the crowd.
The people who laughed with us, struggled with us, believed in us, built stories with us… and reminded us we weren’t alone.

That scene for me, is about the mosaic of your life - the people who felt your impact and will now carry pieces of you in their stories.

Our lives aren’t built in isolation. They’re stitched together by the people who walk beside us - even if just for a season.

We don’t get to choose the ending scene of our lives.
But we do get to choose how we show up for each other now.

My hope - to create stories as possible. Ones filled with love, opportunity, kindness, and friendship - with as many people as I can.

Happy end of summer. Lots of stories were made
