The Moth connects us because we all have stories. And the gulf that exists between us is that when we look at each other we might see faces, skin colour, gender, race or attitudes, but we don't see the stories. And once we hear them we realise that the things dividing us are often illusions, falsehoods: that the walls between us are no thicker than scenery.
What you need to do, most of all, is feel like yourself. Once you do that, the words will come.
I admit it. I'm a Mothaholic... that's what happens with The Moth stories. They hit you. They can begin as simply as "I was walking home"... The Moth is by the people for the people. That's you. Now listen. Look. Read.
