What she says
I found myself living alone in Nigeria—without a husband or a job or even reliable housing.
And I realized, if anyone asked me,
Carrie! What the hell just happened to you?”
I honestly could not tell them. This seemed like a problem. I didn’t know my story.
I think we are all storytellers, telling stories about ourselves every day. How we make meaning of these stories defines us. We become the story we tell ourselves.
