memoirs.. why?!

Why do people write memoirs?
What power is there in telling our own stories?

I think that people write memoirs so that they can release their feelings about a certain situation they were in. Memoirs are also a way to learn from your mistakes and fun times you had. Writing a memoir can help you to think out the situations good and bad. Help you to think about what you and the people around you chose to do and why. Memoirs are a way of thinking things out and starting to release and accept things if you have not already done so. When you accept things and take them as they are you can learn from your mistakes and help others to learn from them too.

There is power in memoirs because writing a memoir casuses a person to become vulnerable and share personal experiences with the reader. This causes builds a relationship. Much of the time people can relate to other peoples memoirs which also helps to strengthen relationships because it gives a feeling of a connection. People can learn from memoirs.
