How can someone who has not only survived but is thriving have any time for self-pity? 

The reason I want to write my memoir is because I honestly believe that my story is unique, what happened and how I lived with it all and ended up where I am today. It just seems like such a daunting tasks and I wonder if I am emotionally ready. Sometimes I fluctuate between just writing the story in different short stories and making it fiction, to take myself out of the equation. 

I am not sure where to start.
