“You have to tell [your story/history], because if you don’t … someone else will tell it and make it theirs.

Or they don’t tell the whole truth.

Or they take what was true and twist it around, turn it inside out, and shape it into a lie… because the lie makes them feel better about themselves and about the things they’ve done.”

10/10! I thoroughly enjoyed this, and the 4th wall breaks aided the story well.
