Getting to Know You
People love telling each other stories about their lives and experiences. Some had a hilarious teacher they could never get along with and others were mischief makers in school. Some people are somehow always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Our lives are full of stories, both good and bad, and you might be surprised at the number of people who might want to read your story.
However, sitting down and writing your life story isn’t always as simple as “sitting down and writing your life story”. Often, writing about your experiences can send you through a roller coaster of emotion like you wouldn’t believe.
But that isn’t to say it’s not a good thing to get through those experiences. I’ve had my fair share of bad experiences, and while it was hard to get down on paper (on the computer, actually), it was one of the best things I could have done for myself. I’m still working on it because I can’t do much of the bad stuff at one time (it’s good to space these things out), but it feels a lot better having written it. It’s almost the same feeling of telling your best friend a deep, dark secret.
We can’t forget the good times, though! The good memories are what make writing your own story a lot of fun.
So where to start? You don’t have to start at the beginning (your birth) by any means. If you need an easy place to start, write: “On [today’s date] I decided to take a shot at writing my life story.”
See? Easy. Go from there. Tell me about yourself and all the places people in your life.
