"When we tell stories, we like for them to have a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Preferably a triumph.
But a lot gets left out in this simplistic, “rising arc” type of narrative. Namely, the messy stuff — the false starts, the failures, the crises of confidence.
And for me, that’s the most important stuff. Hearing about those moments is what makes people human and what makes their successes seem attainable to us mere mortals."
