Making up stories

“In the absence of data, we will always make up stories. … Meaning making is in our biology, and our default is often to come up with a story that makes sense, feels familiar, and offers us insight into how best to self-protect.”

“Unfortunately, we don’t need to be accurate, just certain.”

-Brené Brown (Rising Strong, p. 79)
