How to Write a Powerful Story

1. Title

Keep it short, personal, and emotional. Think of it like naming a diary entry. Your title should give a hint of what the story feels like — not just what happened.

• "I lost and found myself"
• "When I couldn’t speak up"
• "The day I stopped trying to be perfect"

Tip: You don't need to be clever. Just be real.

2. Description

This is your space to speak. Be as short or as detailed as you like. Share what happened, how it made you feel, and what you want others to understand.

Use your natural voice — grammar isn’t the goal here. Honesty is.

Good structure:

• What happened?
• How did it affect you?
• What are you still holding?

3. Keywords

Pick 1 word that describe the emotion or theme of your story. This helps others find and relate to stories like yours.

• grief
• healing
• failure
• forgiveness
• rejection
• self-love

Tip: Avoid generic terms like “story” or “sad.” Be specific to your feeling.

4. Solution (Optional)

If you’ve found even a small step forward, share it. It could help someone else take their next step.

• “I reached out to someone I trust.”
• “I learned to breathe through the fear.”
• “I’m still figuring it out — and that’s okay.”

It’s okay to leave this blank. Sometimes just writing the story is the healing part.

Final Words

Stories aren’t meant to be perfect. They’re meant to be yours. Your voice, your timing, your truth.

And if someone else out there reads it and feels less alone — then that’s a story worth telling.
