Man this is so good. Glad you found a place for it.

Relevant: this Tik Tok of the southpark guys teaching how to write story beats. It's worth the 30 seconds: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRvUk9ha/

This is great stuff as so often Taylor. Impressed. I will take inspiration from this in my own writing. I've seen this with my own family. My sister doesn't have as much formal writing training, perhaps, but when she writes it comes straight from the heart and has a strong power. It speaks to your main point here, that the power to tell a story comes from within, is our birthright, and it's about connecting to it. I don't remember if I read this from one of your past pieces but it reminds me of the Hemingway line, "Writing is easy. All you have to do is sit down at the typewriter and bleed."
