Description
Stories told are infinitely more useful than stories left untold. You were here on earth with your heart wide open. You lived. You loved. And then one day you wrote it all down.
Can you please tell me a love story? Will you consider looking back on that wondrous and complicated and wild and hard and beautiful life of yours? Would you mind giving the world the greatest gift of all? Your story, told once and for all inside the pages of this journal.
Based on Trent Dalton's warm, poignant, funny and moving book about love in all its guises Love Stories Journal features a passionate and inspiring introduction from Trent, along with some gentle and thought-provoking prompts from him to help guide you as the journalist of your own love stories. The love you want to scream about from a mountaintop. The love you think about at midnight with your eyes open and your head on the pillow. The love you whisper to the sky. The love you have always needed to write about.
Above all, these pages help you capture your own voice (or the voices of those you love) and the defining story of your life. Stories told are infinitely more useful than stories left untold. You were here on earth with your heart wide open. You lived. You loved. And then one day you wrote it all down.
