Missouri is river country: the Missouri River crosses the state to join the Mississippi at St. Louis. Your own life has its own currents, and they are worth putting into words.

Who was your partner in mischief as a kid, and which grown-up always caught you?
The Missouri River crosses the whole state before it meets the Mississippi, and a life has its own long currents too. ToldForward helps you follow yours in your own words, question by question, from childhood mischief to your own setting-out moment. Kept private while you live, it will one day help the people you choose understand your courage a little better.
Missouri
Hannibal was Mark Twain's boyhood home, and visitors can still tour the house where he grew up. Ordinary childhood moments can make the very best stories, and yours were full of them. What adventures did you get into? Who was your partner in mischief? Which grown-up always seemed to catch you? Where did you go when you wanted to be alone? Write them down, and you may find your own stories are livelier than you ever thought.
South of the Missouri River, much of the state lies in Ozark country, where the streams run clear, cool and fast. Maybe your summers meant floating a river, fishing a quiet bend or camping under thick trees. Maybe you have always been a city person and like it that way. Either way, the places you go to rest say something about you. Tell the people you choose where you feel most at peace, and why it settles your heart.
In St. Louis, the 630-foot Gateway Arch honors the spirit of the pioneers who blazed trails west, and it was from St. Louis that Lewis and Clark set forth. Every life has its own setting-out moment: a move, a new job, a leap of faith. What was yours? What did you pack, what did you leave behind and what did you hope for? Those answers help the people after you understand your courage.
