I don’t feel that I have a life story just yet. I have experienced some things in my life that have given me a new perspective, but I wouldn’t consider those my life stories. A quote from his essay says, “We story ourselves and we are stories,”. I thought that this was a very interesting concept. I feel like we can become our stories sometimes and live our lives based on our stories. This could be positive or negative because it can hold us back or it can make us cautious. I also think that people need to be in full control of their life to develop a life story that truly represents themselves. I think that this will help to develop one’s own identity. The stories that we live will be affected by outside forces, but we have to overlook those forces and try to write our own story. I think that the events that have helped to shape who we are we will remember most, but I wouldn’t consider those life stories. Yes, they have impacted who we are but it’s just a snapshot of our life. I think that we have to look at the big picture to see the whole story. This is why I don’t have a life story yet. I haven’t experienced enough yet to fully say that I have a life story. There have been events in my life that have shaped who I am, but it doesn’t truly represent me as a whole.
