So, I have the intention of writing a Memoir. Not an audio-biography, because I don’t want to talk about my whole life. I want the focus to be on one aspect of my life-being gay from a conservative Christian family, and in the and first knowing I was in the early 1990s. I do have my introduction written, and an outline for Chapter One, but only have one paragraph written of Chapter one. I need to establish the scene and cultural context for the ’90s, but I am not sure if I should include exact facts, or just what I remember. If I want to include exact facts, I am going to have to do some research. Which is okay, but a memoir is about one’s personal journey of transformation, and I am not sure exact facts are necessary. If any of my subscribers has thoughts about this, I am open to hear them. I just need to get beyond this hurdle of debate to my actual story. Actually, if my subscribers read my blog site, you will know that it really is the internal community within story. For I don’t exist alone in this body. I am DID. So, it is all of our story. But I feel stuck with this debate. Taking time to establish actual facts, or facts based on our memory. This memoir is not going to go into the fact that we are a plural. It’s going to be written from one single person’s transformation, but for everyone who knows us, they will know it is being written about our transformation. I do know that I need to know certain facts, but just how many facts is the question. I am using an AI to get our resources from, because an AI have access to everything, but like I said, I don’t want this memoir to be like a history book about the ’90s. The focus is our story. Anyway, as soon as I can get over this hurdle, I think our story will just flow from that point. So, if anyone has any thoughts about this, please do share them. I have been hearing from the news and other resources, the LGBTQI+ community has once again been a target for hate. That even parents of LBGTQI+ kids are afraid for their kids’ lives. That is why I am using my pseudonym, Riven Wolf, and changing names and locations involved to protect my identity. But I still feel it is important to get our story out there to possibly help others facing similar struggles. The main struggle we will be writing about is our struggle reconciling our identity with our faith or Christian beliefs. Which if our story does get finished and out there, readers will find that we have had to reconsider what we were taught to believe and establish our own beliefs and relationship with God. We were raised to fear God, and view him as a wrathful, vengeful, God. So, we need to find some peace within ourselves and reconsider what we were raised to believe. Our Mom fully accepts us now, but she hasn’t yet admitted that she did not for a long time. Whether this memoir ends up confronting her about that or whether she comes to admit that on her on is something we need from her. Our Dad, who passed away a year next month, never accepted us. In fact, we got the impression that he hated us for a number of reasons. They say God is a father to us, and all that we know about fathers is what we experienced growing up, which is another reason why we see God as wrathful and vengeful. Anyway, we are going to talk all about things like this in our memoir. So maybe when this book finally gets finished, some of you might want to read it. As I said before, we just have to get past this debate in our head about exact facts. Does it make it more real with exact facts, or can we make it real based on our memory. That’s what we are trying to decide.
