Ben reflects on the profound value of writing, sharing insights gleaned from being asked by a mother to explain its importance to her ten-year-old child. Writing immortalizes fleeting thoughts and experiences, fostering self-understanding through examining perspectives. It consolidates memories that would otherwise fade, bridging gaps between life's fragmented moments. By journaling travels from childhood onward, we build lasting records accessible to future selves and generations. Writing represents a potent means of reclaiming and revisiting our lives' stories before they dissipate.
