I know you’re reading out there, and I know that you don’t like to respond, and so I’m asking this rhetorically: Tell me your story.
Now, think about yourself as a protagonist in a novel.
- Do you appear as the same race, the same gender as you do in real life?
- What are your strengths (real or imaginary)?
- What are your character flaws?
- If you have superpowers, what are they?
- How do you present to others, and is that the real you?
- What are your weaknesses?
- What would people remember you for?
Tell me your story now.
Both of these, the real and the imaginary self, are your stories.
