Could you imagine writing your life’s story in only six words? It’s harder than you think. I came across the idea from Stephen Christian’s blog the other day and it really inspired me. NRP has a video featuring some six-word memoirs. Here’s a few of my favorites:
I still make coffee for two.
Sperm to potent, now have triplets.
Nothing profound, I just sat around.
He wore dresses. This caused messes.
So I tried writing my own but couldn’t choose just one:
Wanting more yet afraid of change.
Her life has brought me happiness.
Music. Music. Music. Music. Music. Me.
Struggling to better myself. Almost there.
Fourteen years lost, then meeting him.
Loneliness sucks. Could use a hug.
But my favorite, the one that sums me up the most:
Found life in his blue eyes.
I think it’s pretty cool to sum up your entire existence in only six words. It makes you really think about your life. I encourage you all to create your own six word memoir. Feel free to share them. :)
I think…
Hopefully finds the love she wants…
