Welcome to the MyStories FOREVER blog! Here, we dive into the fascinating world of preserving personal histories and celebrating life’s special moments. Our mission is to inspire you with fresh ideas for capturing your unique life journey, provide practical tips for crafting lasting memories, and explore how the art of storytelling impacts families and future generations.
Ever thought about how you’d like to be remembered? Or what stories you’d like to pass down to your grandchildren and beyond? Life is a beautiful mosaic of tiny moments and monumental milestones that define who we are. And while photos capture snapshots in time, videos bring our gestures, tones, laughter, and emotions to life. They preserve the nuanced essence of our true selves. That’s the magic of a personal history video – it’s your life, your stories, told in vivid colour and rich detail.
Research in psychology tells us that storytelling within families is a powerful way to pass down values, wisdom, and cultural heritage. A personal history video does more than share stories; it strengthens bonds across generations. Imagine a future where your great-grandchildren know your quirks, hear your laughter, and learn from your experiences – even if you never meet them. By sharing your life’s story, you create a lasting connection that can inspire and guide them.
Reflect, Heal, and Celebrate
Creating your personal history video can be a reflective and healing process. It allows you to look back on your achievements, celebrate your life’s journey, and even make peace with your challenges. Studies have shown that reflecting on one’s life and narrating personal stories can have therapeutic effects, providing emotional healing and a sense of closure.
Everyone Can Join In
In our digital age, everyone from young kids to great-grandparents can engage with video content. Making your story accessible and engaging for all ages ensures that your legacy can be easily shared and appreciated widely. Plus, videos are just fun to watch – much more dynamic than flipping through a dusty photo album!
A Professional Touch
Creating a personal history video might seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. At MyStories FOREVER, we specialise in helping you capture your story beautifully and professionally. Whether you’re considering a simple interview setup or a pioneering 360 3D production, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Not sure where to start? No worries! We offer a range of services tailored to help you begin your legacy journey.

In summary, the stories we choose to tell and preserve are the ones that shape our legacies. With MyStories FOREVER, capturing these stories is not just about recording the past – it’s about creating a timeless treasure that resonates with love, wisdom, and the essence of who you truly are. Let’s make these memories last forever, not just for us, but for the generations to come.

It turns out that understanding our personal history is a key building block in a child’s resilience toolbox. Professor Duke’s research found that children who know their family stories are more resilient, have a stronger sense of identity, and are better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
It’s easy to look at the grand narratives spun in books and movies and feel that our own lives are somehow less noteworthy. Perhaps you’ve never scaled a mountain, sailed across the globe, or won an award. Maybe your days feel more about spreadsheets, school runs, and simple dinners. But here’s something I believe with all my heart: every life is an anthology of moments that matter. Each one of us has a story worth telling.
