I bought a book a while back,
with the title on the cover, My Life Story. No, it is not a novel or
a self-help book, it is a blank journal that you can use to
write...my life story.
It has enough pages for 100 years of your life
and the manufacturer of the book states that if you have filled this
one up, they will give you a new one for free. Ha, I don't know how
many people live past a hundred years, but it is a nice sentiment I
suppose.
I bought mine when I was in
my forties already, so there is a lot of my life that still needs to
be penned down. The hard part is what do I include and what is way
too boring to even mention. And the most important question: when am
I going to find the time to write the details of the years before I
bought it?
To alleviate some of this
problem, I decided to stick to my adult life. My childhood was fairly
normal, and happy. Where I recall a particularly happy or memorable
event, I could always pen that. Wasting pages of paper just to say
that I passed this grade or read that book, would really be dull
anyway. Not that I can remember every single book I have ever read in
my life.
I even bought special
lightweight sketchbook for a drawing or two for this book, since it
has a blank page for every year for a photo. I don't have many
photographs of myself, being a bit camera shy and all that. The
drawings will also serve a double purpose to alleviate the urge to create - for the artist in me.
Have you considered writing
your life story, even if it is only for your own family?
