Uniqueness and Commonality

Just as you are unique, so is your story. You own your story and it should be told by you in the first person. Not, "Etta went down the road," but, "As I walked down the road."
We are all unique individuals and yet, we all experience similar emotions in life; sadness, happiness, heartbreak, regret, pride, etc. Your written response to your experience is what readers can identify with and additionally, may gain insights from reading the story. You, too, can learn from reflecting on your life story. It can make you look deeper at things you’ve always thought were your story. Digging deeper makes the story just different enough to have a new perception of "you" emerge.
