Why Write Your Life Story?
What Others Are Saying
Because [life story] writing is inevitably therapeutic, I find benefits for life going forward from this point. Having delved into the past to recall events and write them down as I remember them, I find my life has changed.... if you aim toward the positive, you come out more whole and accepting of not only your life, but other lives as well. — Millie Mehnert
[Writing] life story helped me to finally put my years of journal writing aside and just write my book. I've already distributed and/or sold almost 200 copies of my memoir, Quicksand, A Love Story, in a year's time, and I'm not even a "celebrity." — M. Susan Sanders
I think my writing showed me I had lived with a lot of feelings I didn't know I had. Sometimes you write and cry without even knowing it. — Stella Hendee-Heim
In fleshing out my autobiographical outline I hope to have some sense of the meaningfulness of my life or at least some of the guiding principles by which I live or in other words, to clarify my thoughts. — Paul S. Coole
Writing my life story lends perspective and appreciation for the gift of life itself. It is a universal truth that with clarity comes gratitude! — Julie Zimmer
I always thought I lived a relatively ordinary life. But I discovered that everyone...even I...have captivating stories to tell. By writing about the people and the places, the challenges and accomplishments, the laughter and the tears... even the seemingly mundane details of life as I recall it...I can leave a valuable inheritance of sorts for future generations. And surprisingly, in the process, I even gained some unexpected insights about myself. — Donna Holman
Writing for me has been a way to see the people in my life as just that, "People," with their debit and credit side. Writing my life story has helped me look at some negative past experiences with my current adult perspective, that has led to a more positive understanding of the situations and people in my life. And that enabled me, in a sense, to leave those experiences on the paper. — Ronnie Lerner
I promised myself, and my Mother, that I would write stories of my life when my Golden Years were upon me. She told me to "go on and write". So I did. I have written twenty-eight stories from birth through my long life. I found this to be a rewarding challenge. Once I began the effort, the words flowed from my memory and from my heart. I have never regretted the time I spent writing. — Carol Becky Pinter
As the oldest in the family that moved a lot, my younger siblings ask me occasionally about where we lived and when. They were often too young to remember. Writing something like this helps fill in the gaps for them and lets me reminisce. — Cindy P.
[Life story writing] began my truly, rewarding insight into, “Why was I born?” and who were these people who eventually shaped my life? — Betty Stinar Swisher
