How does one start a book about themselves?

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Is a well lived life defined by your achievements, your failures, or a combination of both?

Man, this was a tough one! One sentence? I feel like discussing one’s life is so complex. It is so full of ups, downs, joys and misery. And everyone’s story is so vastly different. How am I supposed to know where to start? What’s the most exciting moment in my life? So I start high? Or start low? I guess I’ve not lived enough life to feel a need for an autobiography just yet.

Although, I suppose I could start early. Then someday, when I’m old enough to actually write an autobiography, I wouldn’t have to try and remember the younger years.
