I was just thinking that there may be some of you that may not be familiar with The Giving Tree story. I don’t know if they still share it in school in the US or if people elsewhere have heard it.
It’s a quick story that has such with me my whole life since whenever I first heard it when I was still in single digits of age.
It’s been called one of the most divisive stories ever, and it’s been used to represent many things to many people.
I had this post made up ahead of time before getting into a minor fight with my parents this week, which has also since been resolved. But after posting this today, I went and watched a version of the story on YouTube and thought it might be good for others to either revisit this story or to hear it for the first time.
I think it’s a story that may hit differently depending where you are in life, like reading Catcher in the Rye as a teen vs an adult.
If you have any thoughts about the story, is be interested to hear them as well.
