No matter who we are, what we choose to identify with is profound and important. This week, sports bars around the nation (and world) filled with eager fans gathering to cheer on their teams of choice in Stanley Cup and Eurocup matches. Whether we choose to support a team, quote a song or book, cite another voice, or use our own, we are always expressing what we believe in when we act and speak. This week’s batch of Six-Word Memoirs particularly emphasize the voices and identities of their authors.
