You can't write about yourself – few people will want to do it for you, unless you're some important figure like a princess or a queen. In reality, this is a good thing; if someone cuts me down with a sword today or I fall from a ladder and break my neck, my thoughts and how I lived my life will be preserved on the pages of this book, so I can confidently recommend that everyone, regardless of age, put their experiences on paper.
