Why are you writing a memoir?

"... so that the whole story may live in this physical reality and not just in my head. I want people to know they’re not alone."
That's what I wrote on the My Story page of this website.
Part of me is desperate to share my story to scream for recognition –"This really happened!" Part of me is desperate to help prevent it from happening to others. And part of me thinks it's just a really good f*cking story.
But actually none of that is the main reason I write now.
I was recently meditating, what I like to do before writing, and I asked God for clarity.
"Why is Lilly writing this memoir?"
To know herself.
"What would happen if Lilly worked on her memoir everyday?"
The answer wasn't words but an image.
