Obama sent troops home, Paris got into another pickle, and Earl reminded us that Mother Nature means business. Through our ups and down, the calm and the storm, your Six-Word Memoirs were like (fill in your own metaphor here SMITH readers—it’s been a long week). Here are six six-worders we love from the week ending September 3. Click on each author’s name to check out more memoirs.
Most Zen: “Silence: golden, and too often misquoted.” —KaleidoscopeEyes
Most Conflicted: “Enthusiasm used up on my students.” —Aimiee (profile pic, above).
Worst Way to Start the School Year: “School starts tomorrow. On my period.” —Life’s No Fairytale, from SMITHTeens
Most Conflicted: “Katrina: destruction, disgrace, humanity. My name.” —Kriskelli
Best Wordplay: “Anxiety attacks are my only cardio.” —VoxandQuill
Timeliest Universal Truth: “Life is stormy, dance in rain.” —Sweener, from our new six-word project, Six Words on Pain & Hope, with the nonprofit, To Write Love on Her Arms.
