"Child," said the Lion, "I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own."
- C.S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy
I've been thinking about this quote quite a bit lately. It's funny how certain quotes stand out to you, years before they become really present in your life. The thoughts are brought about by an interesting time in my life, where I wonder about how we can so very casually speak about deep and painful realities in other people's lives. Pondering how to better respect other people's stories... and perhaps, my own.
