I have always been interested in the stories people tell about their own experiences. You can learn so much from talking to people about their experiences. What people go through can encourage you, teach you, inspire you and if nothing else, make you wiser. I love talking to people. It has been said by psychologists that people's favourite topic for discussion is themselves. This is very true, which is great for me, because I, on the other hand, love to listen. I would sit at the train station and talk to people who were waiting for buses and trains. I love to catch a glimpse of someone else's existence. We are not all the same, by any means. It amazes me what people tell you about their lives. It is no wonder that I became a counsellor.

I don't only like to hear about the lives of real people. Fictional people exist because there are things in this world that could potentially happen to real people, but just because they haven't actually happened, no one wants to miss out on the story. I love to hear about the lives of people, real or imaginary, where there is something to be learned from the experiences they have. I listen intently to a good anecdote or short story. I have come to collect them over the years. This web site contains some of the better short stories and anecdotes. I hope that you will be entertained, trip yourself out, and possibly learn something.
