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

Writing about my life in the past tense, trying to come up with a solid opening sentence, is not an easy ask. I’m not even sure how to properly write an autobiography. Obviously it’s me writing about myself but does that mean I HAVE to write in the First Person? Could I be weird and write in the Third Person?

“Taylor was a…” you know, something like that? Nevermind, that just feels weird.

“My life was like a waterslide, minus the water and the slide.” I’m not sure where I got this, it just seemed funny and potentially catchy. I probably wouldn’t actually use that sentence if I really wrote an autobiography, but now that I’ve included it in this post maybe I could.

Honestly, I have no idea what the opening sentence would be. As I’m writing this I’m only in my mid-30’s so there is likely still a LONG time to go before it would be worth writing at all. Maybe I should write sections of it now and keep them for later in the event I do write my autobiography…
