Yes so we must author our own. When it comes down to it, every person wants a unique story for themselves. We don’t want to be just another spoke in the wheel. Most people want to follow the herd but never be considered a sheep.
Hello. Thank you so much for reading and for your response. Also, thanks for restacking. I think other people are unlikely to know your story unless you tell them. Or, it is possible to live so thoroughly according to your own will that your story is obvious. But the first option is more likely. Others might observe you in a simplistic way as in the examples given. One might remark that he is a family man, she is a self-starter and success-driven, or another is an outdoorsman. It is so important to author your life instead of having someone else do it for you. If you allow that to happen, you will not get to the heart of what you are about.
Oh, I misunderstood. Not many people at all know my story. I did not until a few years ago. Telling it is a major reason for pursuing writing. I think people would say my story is about a quiet, mild-mannered type who did well in education and likes to learn. Others would tell my story as a person having mental illness and having a breakdown--and failure. There is truth on both accounts. However, my story is about finding my purpose through education and hard times. I like to say I needed two educations to become a complete person. One day I would like to say I turned my challenges into strengths, told my story to lots of people, and fulfilled my hopes of being a good artist. Thanks for taking an interest and engaging on this topic.
Yes everyone's story is unique and valuable ❤️

Yeses. Appreciate your robust approach. How do people refer to you + your story? You gave two examples “she’s is spiritual and he is career driven.”

Thanks for the additional explanation, I understood your original one. My question was specific to you :). How do people refer to you and your story?
‘And here is another question. Does how they refer to you and your story align with how you see yourself?
Looking forward to learning more about you.
