An Autobiography’s Opening

Daily writing prompt
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Well, let’s say it happens five years from today. And let’s say I make it come true. No pressure.

This will be my autobiography’s opening:

“Too shy to show up, too caught up in overthinking—that was me years ago. Then one routine changed everything: I started sharing what I do and how I can help others.”

Because that’s exactly what I’m doing now. I used to hesitate, unsure if what I had to offer was worth putting out there. But I’ve learned that sharing—whether it’s my work, my thoughts, or my experiences—isn’t just about self-expression. It’s about opening doors, connecting with people, and creating opportunities.

So, if I ever get to write that autobiography, I hope this first sentence still holds true. That I kept showing up. That I kept sharing. And that it really did change everything.
