There are moments where we share our stories and the things we have been through.
If you notice the pattern, the times you feel most connected in a conversation are often when you are discussing your worst experiences.
Bad experiences are terrible when you are living through them. But they become quite funny once time passes and you look back thinking — how foolish we were.
So try not to beat yourself up during a rough patch. The best thing to do is document it. That way, you can share the story later in a way that makes people laugh and connect with you.
