On Writing Memoir

I donโ€™t want to write a memoir. Itโ€™s too raw and scary. Too โ€˜laying it all on the line,โ€™ too vulnerable. Iโ€™m afraid I wonโ€™t find theย #TRUTH, Iโ€™m afraid my story will be lopsided, with only my point of view. For whatever happened to me, happened because of something else that happened to someone else.

And I donโ€™t know their truth, for if there isย one thingย Iโ€™m learning from writing my memoir, it is that the TRUTH is elusive, it changes and morphs into different forms the closer I get to it.

What I believe to be true today, may not be true tomorrow. Just like what I believed back when I was growing taller not always holds true today.

There were lies I told, in such brilliant colours, that I myself believed them to be true. Untangling this web of lies makes me feel oh so vulnerable right now.

Love and Light
