Writing About My Life

Writing About My LifeI have to admit, I have never written about myself. I've never even written about my life before. In fact, my mother had to learn how to read me to begin with and that has made the writing process much more challenging for me as well.You see, writing about myself is kind of like asking me to open up about my own mistakes. After all, I always have been an honest person and this is really about honesty and integrity. There are many who would suggest that to 'open up' about one's self, means lying or admitting to wrongdoing. This is completely untrue!While we do want to know about ourselves, we have to ask ourselves a few questions first. Who do I want to know about? For example, if I wanted to know about myself, I wouldn't care if it was the main character in a book I am reading about myself. I still want to know about myself.How will I want to find out about myself? I don't know but I do know this. For me, being self-aware is important. Since I am not well liked b y others, this becomes very important to me. Being self-aware can help me to separate who I am from my habits.Where do I want to go when I write about myself? To some extent I do have some idea of where I want to go. So, there is little challenge in writing about my needs, wants, desires, goals, and dreams. I just have to get started on that and keep at it.When I think about the true sense of who I am, I see a loving and patient person. That is who I am and that is what I want to be. It's what I believe I am meant to be and that is what I work towards.I always tell my readers about my writing on the Internet because I want to share my love for God with them. I want to bring them closer to the God who created us all and gave us life. I want to let others know that He loves them and cares for them.Remember, while you are writing about yourself, you are sharing a truth about yourself. Some truths are hard to come by but they are also truths that can help you be a better person. Even if it seems strange to you, you are honoring your own life by sharing your life. You are telling the world who you are.
