Six Word Memoir

[KitKat]

My six word memoir  by Michael Sean Symonds

I recently bumped into a story of a story, that became a book...

Not Quit What I Was Planning ~ six word memoirs by writers famous and obscure" by Larry Smith and Rachel Ferschleiser, was inspired by the legend/story of how someone challenged Hemingway to write a story in six words or less, his response:

For sale: baby shoes, never worn. If YOU had to write the story of your life as it was, is and as you hope it to be, in six words or less what would you say? What words, impulses, visions, themes, experiences, thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, dreams, desires, losses, hurts, perceptions, fears, and associations would you express within those few words or sentence? What unspoken words would be shared? What would be denied or implied in the gaps between those words and thoughts?

This story inspired me to coin my own six word "memoir", which I have included below; I invite you to share your own.

Struggled,survived,surrendered;

dreamed,played,gave,thrived

Note: for those of you who like to play the 'perfectionist' game; you'll have noticed there are seven words ~ I gave myself permission to add a word; the rebel inside me does not like to feel he "has" to play any game in life with preset rules or conditions?

I found this article on another website and thought it was right for Isara. ~~ KitKat

What is your life in six words or less?

My whole life? Or current life? I suppose memoir means entire life.

Um...
Pollyanna had wild times, then regressed.

EDIT: That was my 6 words, by the way.
