You can always write about your experiences, including things other people tell you. However, don't try to pass off other people's stories as your own. For example, you could share an anecdote someone told you by describing the experience:
"A few years back, I was sitting on the commuter rail from Boston to Newburyport, when a white-haired woman with a care-worn face sat in the bench opposite from me. She told me this tale of love and heartbreak:
<the beginning of that person's story>"
Be ethical in what you say and how you say it. Remove personally identifying details. Consult a lawyer if you're concerned about libel, defamation, or slander.
