"This is a work of fiction, but believe me, none of this is invented."
Simplified meaning
This means that even though the story itself is made up, the events or emotions in it are based on real experiences and truths. Think of a movie or a novel that, while fictional, reflects real struggles, such as feeling lonely or facing tough times. For example, in a novel about a character who overcomes great odds to achieve something, the specific details might be imagined, but the inspiration comes from real people who have faced and beaten difficulties. This idea can help us connect deeply with fictional stories because they speak to genuine human experiences. In your own life, remember that stories we hear or read can teach us valuable lessons, even if they’re not true in every detail. They show us that our feelings and challenges are shared by many, and that there are ways to cope and succeed.
