He said that when we write about our lives, we are telling our stories. This means that when we write about our lives, it’s like we’re living them. When we write about our lives, it gives us a chance to see things from different perspectives and look at the events of our lives in new ways. We can learn things about ourselves and how we can improve our lives by thinking things through before putting them down on paper.
