Your story matters

Have you ever thought of writing your life story? 
Well that was the subject of tonight’s Guardian Masterclass on zoom led by writer Huma Qureshi.
 
She stressed that however modest our life may be we can all find something unique to say about it.  What’s more we are in the “ touchy-feely” age and we are encouraged to express ourselves for the sake of our mental well being.
 
 She began with a five minute brain-storming exercise starting the sentence with:” My story is about…”  
 
   One word summed up mine: “resilience.”
 
The Masterclass exceeded my expectations, but then I am an old cynical journalist.
