What If I Don’t Remember All the Details? #
That’s completely okay. You’re not writing a court transcript, you’re telling a story that left a mark on your life.
It’s normal for memories to blur over time. You might remember the feeling more clearly than the facts. That’s not a flaw, it’s part of what makes your story human.
Just focus on what you do remember:
What happened?
What stayed with you?
How did it change you?
If you’re unsure about a date or a name, you can say “around that time” or “someone I worked with.” It’s the emotional truth that matters most.
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s connection. Your voice has value, even if the edges are soft.
