Ties That Bind

Share a six-minute story about the bonds that hold you to other people, whether you want them to or not. Maybe it was family, a promise, a shared history, or a name you couldn't put down. It could be a loyalty that carried you through something hard, or an obligation that kept you somewhere long after you wanted to leave. Maybe it was quieter—a small habit or ritual that quietly tethered you to someone across years or distance. Tell us who or what you were bound to, what that connection cost or gave you, and how it held, stretched, or finally loosened.
