(pauses) It was... chaotic. I was trying to prepare as much as I could, boarding up windows, stocking up on supplies... but nothing can really prepare you for the sheer force of a Category 5 storm. The winds were so strong, it felt like the house was going to collapse. I was scared, Larry. I was scared for my family's safety.

(hesitates) Well, we lost power, so we had to rely on generators. We had some non-perishable food, but we were worried about running out. And our house... it was damaged, but we were lucky to have a roof over our heads. Many of our neighbors weren't so fortunate.

(pauses) Actually, yes. We all came together to help each other out. We shared what little we had, and we worked together to clear debris and repair homes. It was amazing to see how quickly people came together in the face of disaster.

Conversational and insightful, with Larry King's empathetic and non-judgmental questioning
...it was when I was about 10 years old. My family and I were going through a tough time, my parents were getting divorced, and my mom had just lost her job. I remember feeling so lost and confused. One evening, my grandmother sat me down and told me a story about my great-grandfather's struggles during the war. It was a story I'd never heard before, and it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt seen, heard, and understood.

Yeah, I mean, my grandmother's story was like a validation that I wasn't alone in my struggles. It was like she was saying, "Hey, kiddo, I know exactly what you're going through, and I'm here for you." It was like a connection was made, and it gave me the courage to face my own fears and insecurities.

Absolutely. I realized that storytelling isn't just about sharing facts; it's about sharing our humanity. It's about connecting with others on a deeper level, understanding their struggles, and finding common ground. Since then, I've made it a point to share my own stories with others, to help them feel seen, heard, and understood.

Well, Larry, I was a victim of a serious accident when I was a teenager. I was left with a physical disability and struggled to come to terms with it. I felt like my identity was lost, and I didn't know who I was anymore.

Honestly, I didn't cope very well at first. I became withdrawn and isolated. I felt like I was stuck in this new reality, and I didn't know how to move forward. But then I started writing stories about my experiences. It was like a release valve for me. I could pour out my emotions onto the page and process what I was going through.
