Memoir Blog #1

If I were to write my own memoir, I would focus try to focus less on my life and things about me. I would tell about recently losing my great uncle. I would also tell about my best friend having cancer. I would tell my perspective of what it's like when your life gets  turned upside down. People take so much for granted in life. We acknowledge that bad things such as death, HIV, and cancer exist. But we don't think they will affect our lives. If you had asked me 4 months ago, there was no way I would have thought that my best friend had lymphoma. I would tell my story. I would show how I coped when life got complicated. The main thing I would want people to get from my memoir is that nothing is set in stone. Life can change in a heartbeat. I would like people to understand this and learn to live for each day because no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
