Road Trip Wednesday #57: My Six-Word Memoir

It's Wednesday! Time to take a road trip (especially since I haven't participated in a few weeks). You can join in by visiting YA Highway and leaving your post in the comments.

This week's topic is: 
Write your six-word memoir.

Easy, no?

Um.

No.

Do you realize how many pithy and relatable six letter memoirish-type phrases there are? Dozens. Hundreds! And to pick just one?* It's definitely difficult to boil down this amazing life I've been given to live in one six-word memoir. But here you go. My memoir:

This life is made of dreams.


* I couldn't. So here are a few runners-up:
You couldn't pay me to change
Weird girl is happy being weird
So tired of always repeating myself
World holds big things for me (but)
Am happy with the small stuff
Smart girls are the most intimidating
Smart girls are the most beautiful
Best friends make the journey worthwhile
Live honestly; it's noble, humane, good
I got dealt a good hand

All these are great, esp. "World holds big things for me (but)" and the last one.

So true. And let them be dreams that come true. :)

"Weird girl is happy being weird" - guess who's writing her college essay on essentially this? hehehe

I love all of yours, but especially the one you picked. "This life is made of dreams" - beautiful.

I like seeing the finalists! These are all lovely.

Mine: So much world, so little time.

Came to me in like 2 seconds and I think it's the essence of everything.

Stumbling onto this late, but love it! I also love "You couldn't pay me to change"--I might adopt that.
