Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

Amy and Kat kick things off with a viral Thanksgiving game idea they saw going viral. They would like to work-shop the game a little, so maybe you have an idea on how to make the game more mysterious.  They share two emails.

We hesitate to tell our stories for a thousand reasons. It’s vulnerable, for starters, and we hate the feeling of giving others power over us.  We decide ahead of time that our story isn’t that interesting, that nobody else would care besides us, and that our situation is 100% unique to our experience.  But what if wisdom is buried inside of your personal story?  What if...

When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”?  Or do you tell the truth?  You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you?&...
