6-word memoir

Recently a friend and colleague of mine gave our team a memoir assignment: we had to write our own six-word memoir, and share it at the next meeting.

The idea is from Not Quite What I Was Planning, a New York Times bestseller. The idea for the book came out of an Ernest Hemingway legend. In the legend, Hemingway was challenged to write a novel in six words, and he wrote, "For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn." Some say he considered this his finest work.

The rules are, you can't use six unconnected words - it must be a phrase or sentence. And it should reflect your own life experiences, goals, dreams and realities as described from your personal perspective.

It's challenging, but also quite fun.

I came up with a couple options this week and they vary a bit, depending on the day and my mood. I have my two favorites I'm going to share, but which two do you like the most? Which is the most accurate?

Young writer enjoying love; world travel.
Solar-powered, high-heeled, middle child.
Writing life’s story; wanted: happy endings.
Thankful for yesterday, hopeful for tomorrow.
Waiting for tomorrow; should’ve done today.
Green-eyed innocent becoming jaded realist.

Now it's your turn. If you had to write your own six-word memoir, what would it be?
