A "maiden" represents a young woman or an early stage of life, and the "stories we carry" are the memories, lessons, and feelings that stay with us as we grow older.
The Maiden's story is one of the most magnificent of all, and this visual narrative highlights the beauty and values of the stories we share. The maiden was excited to share her joy with the world; she wanted to help others see the beauty in life and find their own happiness. She knew it was possible for everyone to experience joy, and she was determined to make a difference. Our stories are not always easy to tell. They may be painful, embarrassing, or make us feel vulnerable and afraid. However, it is important to tell our stories- even when it is difficult. Sharing our stories with others helps us heal, grow, and make a meaningful difference in the world.
