Hearing the stories of my relatives’ past has given me a deeper understanding to why things happened the way they did. In a way, it’s allowed me to have empathy for decisions that I once didn’t understand or held resentment towards because I took them personally.
The deeper understanding allowed me to let go of parts of the past that I didn’t realize was keeping me stuck in a certain perspective. Going through old family photos helped spark my curiosity to understand my family history which opened up the possibility to start understanding myself better.
Here are some great question suggestions from Story Corp to get your started.
