Thinking of writing my memoirs as a fiction...

It's grey gloomy and rainy now. Sort of fit's my mood today. Two high points is Maxy is able to leave my room after a week!
Also I got a comment from someone who understands what I shared about suicide ( losing loved one's to it).in my last post. It helped me feel connected in a world that seems to be unconnected to others.
People who have gone through the same experiences, can learn and help each other.
I used to think the things I've gone through would do that. Speaking in person over the years to others,it helped them to know they weren't alone, trying to figure things out. We both shared insight's that made our day better.
Now my conversations are mostly through social media. In the past there was more interaction than now. People seem to post more emoji than comment or have conversations.
At least that's what I see when I looked back at memories posted from previous years on Facebook.
It gave me pause to ponder how much life has changed since COVID started. Then all the mass shootings and drug issues with zombie and flesh eating drugs.
The homeless people and unceasing crime.
I grew up in Brooklyn during the 1960s and it's quite the contrast.
In the subject line I wrote making my memoirs into a fiction.
To keep my privacy and others.
It didn't matter before.
To distance myself from it all. A very good therapist taught me " don't relive the past, revisit it."
She encouraged my writing goals over 7 years till I left Oregon.
It's hard to bounce ideas off another writer, when most people I know aren't.
So I've been trying to figure it out alone. I pray about it and ask for input. I have social anxiety sometimes and makes it hard to reach out.
Maybe by putting my thoughts and energy here I will find the way through the labyrinth.
Thanks for listening
Bless y'all
