Is There a Narrative?

We each have a narrative that is type specific, and it's the story that we tell ourselves about who we are. And i think one of the things that we're not good at is actually really noticing and remembering accurately. You know what, my pain was not a lifetime of unending misery, actually. That may have been there, but there are other things too. I'm not terrified every moment of my life. I have other feelings too, or not ashamed every moment. So i think it opens the door for a whole lot of other things, and to move beyond the narrative.
