same applies to eulogies! specific examples that display the character traits you're wanting to highlight.

I think this is why Taylor Swifts songs are so beloved and relatable even though she writes about what seems super specific

You’ll always hear the good comedians do this too. They’ll say chefboyardee instead of soup, or Ms Sillyhair instead of teacher, etc.

My brother in law has a theater degree and is a prolific reader. His best man speech at our wedding was the best I’ve ever heard. He should give workshops on writing them😂

Same with songwriting. Why does half the planet love Taylor Swift? Because her lyrics are so specific … and in her details she finds the universal

In his vows, my husband mentioned a green binder clip I’ve had on my desk for years, and the specificity of it made me weep 😅
