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.

Here's the video

Just fyi, everything after 9wo in that URL is unnecessary tracking junk. I'd suggest trimming it down if you're going to be sharing it like this.

Thank you!

I changed it.
