Nani, you are so right about memories being yours to keep. One thing I found is if I dig deep and think of a memory,I have to write it down and then my fingers just start filling in the blanks that I have buried for years. I have about 50 short stories that I wrote for my blog years ago and most of them started with one sentence, then I had writers block, leaving me with no way to know how to fill in around 1000 words. but once I started writing, my fingers were faster than my mind was and by the time I was done writing my story, I was having a hard time seeing the keys through the flood gates of tears in my eyes. I haven’t reread those stories in a few years because at the time I had read them over and over. It was my gift to myself and I couldn’t get enough of them. However, I haven’t read them in a few years because the stories began to feel redundant to me after reading them so many times. I might have to dig up a couple and remind myself of some of the fun memories, as well as challenges, I’ve had in my lifetime! by the way, I never claimed to be a “writer“, only a storyteller in my own mind lol punctuation and grammar would have probably been an editors nightmare! 🤣 What a wonderful Vlog again, Nani!💕
