I would travel around the world collecting stories from "ordinary" people, meaning people who have stories to tell but no one to listen to them because they're not famous.

I'd collect them and release them as a single entity. Would like to spend many years doing this

I've found that people who recommend "the safe thing to do" often (not always) push their own doubts and fears onto you. Meaning they would fear that if they would have to do it themselves.

"You are not them" is something I preach when people do that

Not always, but I've experienced that as well.

My therapist was completely on board, as long as I could make use of the guidance she gave me
