Everyone Has a Story

I agree everyone has many stories. as a poem goes, when we are young,we often let us fall into the sorrowful sate to compose some outstanding poems,but when we experienced enough, we don't want to mention any sad thing but those happy ones.

Oh yes struggles, challenges, drama, surprises, both pleasnat and unpleasant, you name it, thats basically my story. My life has been a soap opera in many ways. But I think.. a lot of us have had soap opera lives.

I am also an ordinary person like you and have nothing much to say.However, picking from your analogy I can say one thing about myself that is--If I am given lemons and I like lemonade I will move earth and Heaven to learn how to make this lemonade, improve upon it , offer it to others and get the satisfaction of making some wonderful lemonade .I believe that God would give me the inner strength and determination to make use of my capacity and resourcefulness to the best.

Truth be told, I have looked back and realized is that I tended to live in a Jerry Springer episode. Of course, this was when I was still married;) Nowadays, my life is rather quiet (although I did discover the mass infestation of termite babies in my basement--so immature they couldn't even fly yet!); days will go by without a phone call! (though lately it's all creditors!) I expect to star in a new tale...to be cured of a previously-believed to be incurable disease in June).

Yes, that's right! Everyone has a story. When I was young, I thought my story should be mort wonderful. With my growth, I know that my story just like a water in the Sea and unworthy to write out.

My life story wouldn't be that interesting. A lot of struggles and challenges, but everybody faces that. A lot of heartache and disappointments, but that's life. Never fair. I always dream of a better life and i always try to achieve those dream. And as each day goes by, i see those dreams fading away. I hope i achieve those dreams before it's too late.

mine would be an ordinary dream of love and adventure. hehe or at least i would like it to be an adventure... my life is ordinary and people in my lives made it a bit extraordinary so at some middle part of the story of my life, i would make an emphasis on what contributions they made to my life and everything i have in my mind - how i make decisions and all.

I do plan to write my story one day. It will be my story of my life with fibromyalgia and all the struggles I have gone through. But there are other stories to be told too. Those I would write as fiction, like my abusive first marriage, or my life as a single mother. Since they would be written as fiction I would make them more interesting than they already are. I have written a short story based on the relationship between me and a co-worker, but the entire story itself is fiction. I met an agent a couple of weeks ago and she highly recommended that all non-fiction memoirs or autobiographies be submitted as fiction. I kind of agree with that because I think memoirs and autobiographies/biographies are the stuff of celebrities... unless of course it is a story that can help other people, like my struggle with fibromyalgia.

I believe what you say is true every life has each his or her own story. We live life like it was told out of a story book.My life is more of a drama, love story and a mixture of some of lifes other stories..When I tell of my life to others they said It can pass as a drama story because it is full of emotions..They feel sad at most of it though.

Mine will be one of great love. I found my friend and husband back in 1971 and had been stationed at Incirlik Turkey. I heard about my husband when I was still stationed in Florida. When I went to Turkey I started dating his friend and didn't meet him until I had been dating his friend, Michael, for a couple of weeks. Michael and I were walking across the BX exchange and this car pulled up. When this guy looked out of the window it was Tobie my intended which I didn't know at the time. When I heard his name I told him very excitedly that I had heard about him in Florida. Well he drove away after we had talked a little bit. Then one night I was in the barracks and he called me and asked me if I wanted to have a drink with him. I said yes and he came and picked me up. We hit it off really good and the rest is history. It is now 35 years later and I still love the man I met that time long ago.

I would have to say that my life story would be one of family. I am one of 6 children after my parents were one of 9 and one of 8. I have 4 children of my own and my oldest daughter is pregnant with grandchild number 10, although I have lost one to SIDS. I had 2 marriages which were both started through correspondence, and my first husband indirectly introduced me to the second. Because of both of those things, I have always said that I should write my life story because most would think that they were reading a piece of fiction, as you said about your own story.

Good question. Yes , I do believe that everyone has a story. Mine would probably be a combination of all those types ...ok maybe not political drama.

the point i hold is different people will remember you in different ways and get different ideas about you. in the daily,we act in the way we are(maybe ,not),but i focus on the opinion that we impress people around so variedly,such as someone as a friend,others as just pass-by. so i think your question is difficult to answer in a specific way.

I guess mine wont get that much of an attention from anyone. Since my life is ordinary and my struggles are not unusual. No noteworthy success to brag with. Just an average jane in a average world trying to live normally in a sane world. Many tradegy but not that that would catch headlines. Nor comedy that will make the world laugh. I guess my laugh will pass just like any other without extraordinary funfare or achievements to mention about in my orbituary. And if I do pass away, I dont think people in Mylot will notice since none of my friends knows I write here and will announce that I have moved on to the other world.

Average mediocrity, that would be me. Nothing special, not grand, nothing! And people wonder why I don't do a journal... what's to write? NOTHING!

Hi Myrrdin, What an interesting idea for a discussion! I'm not sure what my story will be, but I look for something exciting in every day, and really every day feels better then the one before. I've had my share of sorrows and other problems, but I seek to find the good in all things. Since my life isn't over yet, there are still many things that I want to do and experience, so who knows what surprises the last chapter may bring! Blessings.
