DIY autobiography
the only story worth telling is your own
everyone should write their autobiography. everyone. if you think you can't, i gotchu
doesn’t matter if you think your life’s too dull, too wasted, too small. it’s still yours. and that alone makes it worth the ink.
forget expertise. forget positioning yourself as the sage on the mountain. any knowledge you have, any skill, any secret; it all lives inside your story anyway
from birth to death, your life is an epic in progress. even if just one person reads it, sees the world through your eyes, that’s enough.
it could be your family, your friends. a stranger you’ll never meet, or just you 🤷♀️ reading yourself
but remember this: you are the main character! this isn’t a supporting role, this is your show!
and realizing that alone is priceless 🤩
call it a game call it an exercise call it a mirror it doesn’t matter
what matters is you’re willing to look 👀 really look at the trail you’ve left (leaving) behind...
and when you look back long enough, you’ll start to look forward differently 🧭
so if you want to chart your future, start in the past. for the past has all the clues to unlock a future beyond your brightest dreams
the best way in? write your autobiography
and the best time? right here right now
don’t overthink the format doesn’t have to be a trilogy it could just be three lines an epitaph. if you will 🪦 a scribble on a napkin
that’s a damn good start
write how you want to be remembered. just a post it at first. then expand it. layer by layer, until it becomes a wild, grand take of epic proportions. one, you’re proud to call yours 😎
share it with those you love. share it with those you don’t even know yet. because the act of looking at your life, of seeing it from the outside; will change you. that alone is worth the meta adventure of writing an autobiography ✍🏼
think of it like this: a near-death experience in slomo you floating above yourself watching every move, every choice every spark. every scar
people say your whole life flashes by on your deathbed. maybe that’s true. but who says you have to wait to die to watch the show?
what’s stopping you?
let’s do this. let’s write your history by revisiting your own life 'cause while you were busy living you didn't see the game you played
this. right here. is your chance.
your move: start your autobiography today one line, one page, one memory and keep going until you can see yourself clearly past, present, and all your futures
