Krakow Story Slam: theme - "What I never said." - Unspoken Truths and Regrets

## Tonight’s Theme: What I Never Said – unspoken truths and regrets

Some words stay with us because they were never spoken.

The apology we held back.
The truth we swallowed.
The love we assumed they already knew.
The boundary we never set.
The goodbye that never came.

Sometimes silence protects us.
Sometimes it costs us everything.

Maybe it was something you meant to say for years.
Maybe the moment passed.
Maybe fear, pride, timing, or heartbreak got in the way.
Maybe you still carry it now.

Tonight is about the things left unsaid.
The conversations that never happened.
The truths buried deep.
The regrets that echo.
And maybe—what it means to finally give them words.

We’ve all had moments
where silence said more than speech ever could.
Tonight is about those stories.

## What is a Story Slam?

A Story Slam is a night of true, personal stories told live.
Funny, emotional, awkward, wild, or unforgettable —
stories that actually happened.
Each event has a theme that inspires the night.

### Theme: What I Never Said – unspoken truths and regrets

### Story time: 5–7 minutes

Extras: Cozy drinks, wine, and snacks
Entry: Free! (Tips help cover the mic & event costs.)
📍 Location: Restauracja Atrium - Krzywa 7/1, 31-149 Kraków

## Important for Storytellers

Your story must:

Be a real story (something that actually happened)
Be told live (no reading)
Clearly connect to the theme: What I Never Said
If it doesn’t follow the theme or isn’t a story, it won’t be eligible for scoring.

## Want to Tell a Story?

Here’s how it works:

### DO

• Tell a real story — something that actually happened
• Keep it 5–7 minutes
• If you go over, we’ll flash a light
• Make sure your story has a beginning, middle, and end
• Give us stakes — why should we care?
• Be honest. Be vulnerable. Be real

### DON’T

• No essays, lectures, or philosophy speeches
• No reading from notes or paper — speak from the heart
• No complaining — shape it into a story with meaning
• No stories that ignore the theme

## After Each Story

Audience judges give a score.
At the end of the night, we crown the Story Slam winner.

## Not Ready to Share?

That’s totally fine.
Grab a drink.
Settle in.
Listen closely.

Because everyone in this room
has something they wish they had said...
or wish they never did.

And tonight,
you’ll hear those stories.

DOORS OPEN: 7:00 PM
SHOW STARTS: 7:30 PM

See you there.
Some truths wait years to be spoken.
Tonight, we tell them. 🤍
