Day 30: What would you title the chapters of your autobiography (and why)?

Good day everyone! I hope you have had a decent week so far!
First of all, HAPPY NEW MONTH!! I can’t believe there’s only 4 more months left of 2023. Where on earth has time gone!?!?
Blogunary has long gone but that doesn’t mean I am forbidden to still answer one of the questions, which I believe is very deep, personal but also insightful!

Our lives are a collection of stories, experiences, and personal growth. Each chapter represents a significant turning point or theme that has shaped our journey. Reflecting on our own life’s narrative allows us to appreciate the challenges, triumphs, and transformations we have undergone. In this blog post, I will explore the chapters that could compose my autobiography, drawing from personal experiences of overcoming bullying, battling low self-esteem, struggling with mental health, finding resilience, and achieving remarkable successes. Without going into too much detail and listing all the chapters, let’s dive into the some chapters that would define my extraordinary autobiography.
