For the past few weeks my local newspaper, the Kansas City Star, has been requesting readers to send in their autobiographies. But they didn’t want full-length novels. They wanted an autobiography of our lives using just six words.
I thought this was fascinating and went to work thinking about what mine would be. A few entries the paper shared that I loved:
“Went to college. Came home pregnant.”
“Born naked, raised Catholic, love fashion.”
“Went for it…almost always succeeded.”
“Life’s funny secret: some assembly required.”
“I look like a great cook.”
And it didn’t take me long to come up with my own:
Now, everything I have always wanted.
So, what’s yours? If you had to describe your life – now, then, in the future, whatever – using only 6 words, how would you do it?
