Six Word Memoirs

Today's challenge is to see how many six word memoirs I can make in one hour using the topics from the official six word memoir website.  I am jumping right in.

*Six words that absolutely terrify you:

I am so disappointed in you.

*Your favorite fads in six words:

Chokers not the dog collar kind.

*What does "character" mean to you?

Living the way Jesus Christ modeled.

*This is nature in six words:

Oregon's Crater Lake 1,946 feet deep.

*My Best Day: [Add Three Words]:

My Best Day: What Happens Next?

*Your six words for staying cool:

I'm going to take a nap.

*What's on your six-word campaign button:

We are doomed- vote for me.

*Summer road trips in six words:

Smelly, sweaty, sleepy keep rolling on.

*The six-word spoiler of your life:

SPOILER: He names all the children.

*Your family story in six words:

Distance and awkwardness sums it up.

*Your commencement speech in six words:

Get over yourself, please, serve others.

*I always call my mom when...

I really need a guilt trip.

*Bust a rhyme in six words:

Wasting time, think of a rhyme.

*On my first day as president....

Will resign on Mr. Peterson's advice.

*Your college pride in six words:

Attended Western Baptist College not Corban

*I unplug to...[add three words]:

I unplug to keep sanity alive.

I still have about 4 minutes left but I need to leave it here because the last one is perfect for the message I want to say today.  I am seriously considering deleting my Facebook account and slipping quietly into the night so that I can write.  I want to write without pressure of likes.  I am tired of being jealous.  I barely ever see the things I want so I will write what I want to see- life, love, quirkiness, depth of soul, hope, books, fun, and learning.  I feel like I am about to go crazy and maybe it is because it is election season but I can't take it much longer.  I will write to keep living.
