flamingsword and others recently encouraged me to write my life story/ies here because there is still so much to learn about each other. I found it a delightful motivation, particularly when they requested "the Bildungsroman of your oppressed childhood?"
But if I was going to start such a project, I had to make sure I wasn't repeating other stories, and I found I'd written way more here than I recalled!
So here is a rough anthology of posts I've already make that would fall under "A Thousand Ways to Tell a Life Story":

So here is a rough anthology of posts I've already make that would fall under "A Thousand Ways to Tell a Life Story":
- Adverse Childhood Experiences
- Burnout
- Homes
- Sleep
- My fam-o's great expectations for me
- Alcohol (I called it a "Culture Catalogue" there)
- Friendships
- Jobs & Employment
And as a treat, here's the first time I wanted to grieve my lost chance to move to Chicago.
I also cleaned up my tags (though I only got through the I's so probably needs a lot more work); as they get streamlined better they should help me as the writer and yall as readers to seek out specific topics more quickly. One thing I have not streamlined yet is which posts are public and which are access-only, so I apologize in advance if something isn't showing up for you. That's a DW etiquette thing I'm still learning.
