The True Told Life Story - {Tribute Series}

Book cover inspiration

In the tribute series, several unfortunate life experiences were included, based mainly on references available online. However, this article is meant to pose an inquiry — to ask a question. It may be somewhat philosophical or represent fictional alternatives for those who have read or will read these life stories.

What if everything we knew isn't true? What if the story being told is fabricated? What if the people who lived these lives didn’t truly understand what was happening to them? What if the versions of their stories we have are just a collection of lies others wanted us to believe? What if we’ve told their stories the wrong way? What if we will never really know what happened behind the scenes — their struggles, hopes, disappointments, or breaking points? And what if, even if they were here, they wouldn’t be able to explain it? Because it’s beyond their ability to express, and beyond our ability to fully comprehend.

I’m speaking about each individual experience — not all of them collectively. Each has its own unique interpretation. Each has its own voice, its own pain, its own suffering. Each was told through what reached us, whether propagated or presented by the media.

These are the stories that were approved to be told at the time, and that have remained until today — stories that may continue to be retold until someone presents a different version. Even true stories can be reshaped.

The truth is deeply subjective — especially when it comes to other people’s lives, or even our own.

They say history is written by the conquerors — those who later had the power to write, rewrite, or overwrite the narrative.

So, what is the real story? I doubt anyone truly knows. At least, from my perspective, no one really knows what actually happened.

But here, we tell the story anyway — good or bad — the story we’ve been told.
