I saw a tag floating around and decided to write my own memoirs in 6 words:
I strove for individuality, then acceptance.

A short story about a jolly old place called Feardom – a fictional afterlife universe populated by ghosts, ghouls, spirits, aliens and otherworldly beings.
Let me be the mole on your chin, he says,One you touch when you’re thinking, unthinking. I’m a plastic Barbie, she says,PERFECT. *If you like this you might want to check out my photostory collection or my Instagram stream.
He insisted, I tell you I have the Midas touch! She said, I believe you. Only you are Midas in reverse.You only touch that which is already gold. He laughed. She did too. She didn’t tell him she was thinking Midas turned life into cold metal.But you could bring gold…
Being a nice girl comes with much social currency. But is being nice really that strong a moral virtue? I think not. And here’s why.
When I got tagged in the 55-word story thing, I thought “Oh, help”. Having managed a couple though, I’m hooked….it is tremendously satisfying…just the sort of creative challenge I was looking for. Since I’ve already tagged people, I’ll leave this open to whoever wants to pick it up. You know…

@ Ashish: Sometimes I doubt that.
@ 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!
All three comments have six words.
OK. I am being a smartass. 😈 😛
F#$K Six. Give me a Hi-Five!

I think it hold true for me as well to some extent 😀

i love the dichotomy of being human.
Nice one 🙂

I believe you are strong enough not to give up individuality and try
“blending in” 🙂
@ Ashish: And then want to blend in..*sigh*
@ Rambler: Is it? I don’t know. I’m too young to write my memoirs!
@ chennairamblings: Precisely. 🙄
It’s ironic, isn’t it?
We somehow sacrifice individuality for acceptance, all the time.
chennairamblings’s last blog post..For the ?king of kings?
I think best thing about any memoir is “striving”..It never ends, does it?
That is what makes one stand out of the crowd! 😎
