I dunno. I'm pretty weird, and my life story is pretty weird, even as a series of events without any overarching narrative. There's a steep learning curve when I attempt to explain either of them to someone I don't know. But a lot of it feels mundane too.

Impossible to answer unless you're on your deathbed, possibly not even then. How do you get enough perspective to differentiate between being ordinary in an extraordinary story vs vice versa vs something between? How do you ever really *know* you have enough perspective?
