Memoirs Of A Story-teller
I saw a tag floating around and decided to write my own memoirs in 6 words:
I strove for individuality, then acceptance.
~O~O~ I call myself a chronic thinker. A few centuries ago, I’d have been called a Thinker. Or burnt at stake for being a witch.
My degree is my passport to the world of respectability. I moonlight as a troubled poet, a warrior princess and a closet sorceress. I am all of these and yet none of them is all of me.
All I was born to be really, was a story-teller. Scheherazade, Galelio, Cleopatra and Salvador have passed through. This time round, just call me IdeaSmith. Read more ideas

I think best thing about any memoir is “striving”..It never ends, does it?

It’s ironic, isn’t it?
We somehow sacrifice individuality for acceptance, all the time.

@ Rambler: Is it? I don’t know. I’m too young to write my memoirs!
@ chennairamblings: Precisely.

I believe you are strong enough not to give up individuality and try
“blending in”

@ shub, blankspaces, chandni:
@ {illyria}: But sometimes it is so difficult to live with!
@ rahul: There’s a lifetime between ’should’ and ‘does’.
@ Cynic: Some things are really better written about than experienced; wouldn’t you agree?
@ Brad: That’s why you are my AE! That was six words too, so there! And this last one too, what say? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
