Whose Story Is It to Tell?

A story can be true to your experience and still include someone else’s private moment.

When you want to share something that happened between you and another person, how do you decide which details are yours to tell, which call for their consent, and which are better left out? Does your answer change when you’re asking a trusted person for support rather than sharing publicly?

There may not be one rule for every story. I’m curious what helps you honor your own voice without taking someone else’s choices away.
