Is 2024 Doomed to Repeat 1968 or 2020—or Both?

memoir
next semester, i'm taking a memoir workshop. i'm trying to come up with a good title for my collection of memories. oh, and i'm also trying to determine which period of my life to chronicle. i'm not being modest when i say that my life up to this point has been fairly unremarkable. i mean, the era of Professor Love Muffin was fun and all, but no one's going to want to read about that...

Take the most normal thing about your life and chronicle that. I think sometimes what we find as the most "normal" part of our lives tends to be what interests others the most. Or trace your life by coffee flavor eras or favorite paintings.
(Look at me getting ready for my own classes in two weeks!)
I'm currently thinking that if I write a memoir, it could be encouraging to people to hear about all ways I got things wrong, and I still turned out OK. (This is assuming, of course, that I turn out OK.)
