My experience with memoir writing has been good. Memoir writing has allowed me to write pieces about events that greatly changed my life. Writing about things like my grandpa’s wallet and my rocky friendship honestly helped me to talk about things that might seem insignificant in a regular conversation. Writing memoir pieces has also allowed me to connect with the other people in my group. After we read each of our pieces, we start to discuss about it and I realized that by reading our memoir pieces, we start to understand a little about each other. While we lead very different lives, we can still relate on problems that we have such as our insecurities. Writing about the memories opened up old wounds while sharing them helped us heal.
