Authorship?

I just saw something that said, ‘I have the power to rewrite my story’.

I disagree with this statement. You can’t rewrite your story; the past is what the past is. you can’t change that, nor should you want to. Everything in life – good, bad, and ugly – is a lesson. and i’m gonna take a wild stab at the fact that if you’re thinking about rewriting your story, then it’s pretty likely that you learned those lessons, and wouldn’t want to lose that wisdom.

So perhaps what the person who wrote this meant was not that they have the power to rewrite their story, but that they are claiming authorship going forward…
