It's Up to You to Write Your Autobiography

Philadelphia is the birthplace of our Constitution. A visit there is inspiring. One can see our monetary system in action, the Liberty Bell, and walk the halls of those who wrote and signed the Constitution.

To me, the most inspiring place was a little museum called the Independence Living History Center. The archaeologists there sift through artifacts gathered from sites nearby. The archaeologists tried to decipher what the artifacts told them about the lives of early Americans.

A guide explained why the archaeologists were so diligently sifting through these relics. He said that books are written about important people, like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson, and not about ordinary people like us. So these scientists put the stories of these people back together from these artifacts.

Is the richness of your life found in your garbage?

Do you know where a lot of these artifacts were found? They were found in the colonists' version of the trash. I don't know about you, but I'm sure that I don't want my history to be reconstructed from trash.

The truth

Probably nobody will write a book about me. Probably not about you, either. I don't like to think that two hundred years from now, some historian will try to recreate a generalized concept of how I lived based on a few dirty garbage items recovered at the local landfill. Do you?

You and I Have a Story Worth Telling

Your life is a story. It's worth telling, preserving, and passing on.

Writing your autobiography is daunting. It's especially tough to do it on your own.

Be Brave

Just start writing.

Ideas will come to you.

Tell your own story! Don't leave it to someone else.
