Everybody Has a Story

Peter is on a two-year break from his studies in pursuing a PhD in Creative Writing. He’s researching perspectives of different people of different cultures throughout the world, hoping to shape the person he will become after graduation. His conversations with total strangers are based on a perfect balance of talking and listening, with more emphasis on listening. While Peter believes that many of the stories he hears are based on some form of truth, many are either exaggerated or totally fabricated. Furthermore, he’s convinced that these same tales are stored in the memory banks of the storytellers and frequently repeated with every new person they meet, each time with some form of colorful embellishment. But each narrative leads to a lesson learned, as Everybody Has a Story.
