Write about how you became who you are.
Why you are the way you are.
Is it genetics, epigenetics, nature, nurture, not nurtured?
Remember a pivotal event. Something happened that changed the trajectory of your life. You may not have known it at the time. But looking back, you might discover the “aha” moment.
How to find that pivotal event, that “aha” moment:
- Maybe there is a clue in something you write about repeatedly.
- Scroll through your memory bank of photos, “see” a photo where you are frowning. What is that frown about?
- There is an uncomfortableness when you remember a particular occasion.
- You can also write about a highly emotional situation, starting with, “Here’s what happened . . .” You don’t have to think about an epiphany. Just write like a reporter, “Here’s what happened . . .”
You might not find a pivotal event during this writing. However, if you keep writing, it might pop up.
Just Write!
