The opener of the piece resonates with me! Liz writes:
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived inside a story. Middle school is when I realised I was the one holding the pen… I began turning my life into a story—a series of events with meaning, arc, consequence.”
This is me. I create meaning in connecting the strands of life… ripple effects create waves. It allows me to reflect on my past, present and future self. I thought everyone experienced life this way!!
Seeing the world through microscopic threads of connection definitely makes me a better writer.
