27 Percent Truth
I often joke that my stories are made of 72% pure fiction, 27% allusionAn allusion (not to be confused with an illusion) is a literary device where a writer or artist makes an More wrapped in allegory, and 1% some type of delusion. But behind the humor, there’s something important I want to share about that 27% – what I call my 27% Truth.
27% of the infinite is not as small as you may think.
Stories are more than just a tool for delivering information.
They are the vessels that allow knowledge to take root in the soil of memory.
Through stories, I can weave my personal experiences into the lessons, not as rigid facts, but as living reflections.
The reality is, life doesn’t unfold like an academic paper.
It’s messy. It’s uneven. It refuses to fit neatly into charts, graphs, or peer-reviewed studies.
While scientific research offers precision and clarity, it often struggles to
show how theories actually breathe inside real, imperfect human lives.
If I handed you raw slices of my personal story, they might feel too specific, too jagged, or simply unrelatable.
But when I wrap those truths in allegory and allusionAn allusion (not to be confused with an illusion) is a literary device where a writer or artist makes an More, they soften.
They become mirrors instead of microscopes, allowing each person to find a reflection of
their own journey within the story.
The 27% Truth is not about hiding reality.
It’s about offering it in a way that doesn’t talk about me but shares what I’ve seen,
so that the knowledge doesn’t pass through your mind, but settles into your heart, where real understanding begins.
