I try not to think of my life as a story because it makes me feel delusional. It's such a flawed, human thing to see recurring patterns or themes in your life when there isn't really anything there. At the same time it's hard to keep yourself from reflecting on "how far you've come".
If the recurring pattern is you continually getting into certain kinds of trouble, dwi for example, then you have more control over your story than you imagine. If the recurring theme in your life is having abusive partners, then perhaps you can change that story.It's such a flawed, human thing to see recurring patterns or themes in your life when there isn't really anything there.
For example, if it seems that every time you leave the house a black cat dashes in front of you, then yeah, probably there isn't anything there.
