| Summary | "My Life" by Josiah Flynt is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles Flynt's experiences growing up with a restless spirit, constantly drawn to wander and explore beyond the confines of his upbringing. It reflects on his early life, family influences, struggles with societal expectations, and his lifelong quest for freedom and understanding. At the start of the autobiography, the author shares early memories, including a runaway trip that led him to his first experience of confinement. Through vivid recollections, he paints a picture of his childhood, marked by a struggle against the constraints of respectability in a Methodist community. Flynt describes his complex relationships with his parents, particularly the impact of his father's death, and the hardships faced by his mother as she worked to keep the family together. His narrations reveal a deep curiosity about the world, setting the stage for his future adventures and a life defined by the pursuit of the elusive "Die Ferne," or "the Beyond." The opening provides a glimpse into the formative moments that shaped his identity as a wanderer and a seeker, hinting at the extraordinary life experiences that will unfold throughout the autobiography.
