Using Writing to Heal

It's been years since I last really wrote narratively about my life prior to the present day, but I think that I'm ready to begin doing that now. Yesterday, I went to the library and checked out a children's book on how to tell your own stories from your life or inspired by your own experiences. I thought it was really well-written and it gave me a lot of food for thought; more than one might think, especially from a children's book. I'm hoping to start doing this narrative writing to rediscover who I was as a child and, by extension, know who I am as an adult. Having BPD sucks because it makes me unable to identify who I'm supposed to be. Nevertheless, I'm going to keep trying to know who I might be. It's the only way forward. Besides, in my past, there is a hurting little girl who is waiting for me to find her so I can start walking her back into the present with me.
