Yes, it's like memoir. Your experience, as it relates to the wider world. What is Universal about what happened to you. Good advice! I've never tried personal essay, but I think I would like it.

If you give it a go, feel free to share it here! I'd love to read it. I like to think about memoir and personal essays as being two sides of the same page. Personal essays are using your experiences to understand a bigger topic and Memoir is using a bigger topic to understand your own experiences. Both are some of my favourite writing!
