My students have shown me, over and over again, the power in simply telling your own story, as it is. Your writing doesn’t have to be good. It doesn’t have to be “right.” Through writing, grief and love, horror and companionship weave themselves into this story of your life—the true story. You can write for yourself alone, or you can find places to share your words with others. What matters most is telling the truth, without censure, without apology.
