answer:The first and main question is too big to answer here; best addressed in a biography or a long text sometime in the future. Parts I believe to be true, that from a young age I seem to have been an independent thinker. Making decisions on my own, based on at least some kind of reasoning. Of course starting out from the basic. How early it started, according to my mom when I was 5. Is that necessarily true, or anything? Not completely, but not completely false either. I think almost everything can be thought of as probability percentages. 60% true of being X (independent thinker) 40% other. But that’s another discussion. No, I don’t think my or anyone’s narrative to be accurate. And given memory and recollection is a re-constructive process it’s subject to continuous alteration. That said, there is a of wealth of information spurting out of each narrative, regardless of accuracy pertaining to the question, topic or frame. In other words, there are reasons someone thinks a certain way and portrays themselves similarly in their own narrative.
