Life can be both, it's lived experience and imagination; both. It can be about creating and living both.
Like Emily, we all have a different life and we are writing our stories differently. Not in pen and paper always but in other ways.
To me, it's what I create, how I live, what I imagine, what I dream, what I leave behind, and everything in between...
That is a very good way of combining these things, @peacefulsoul! And I also agree with your thought that sometimes stories can be written in a different way, not just with a pen. Thank you for your answer. 🤓
