I was told about this book/site, and was amazed at how much could be said in six words. The concept is simple. Write your life story in six words. The first one I heard was "For sale, baby shoes, never worn", and was so saddened by it. What would your memoir be?

The site: Six-Word Memoirs

My memoir: Must submit to exist, be happy.

Inappropriate humor simply doesn't exist, right?

feeling lost, will it be okay?

I was thinking about this yesterday.

(coincincentally, yes, indeed. instead, though 'twas: describe yourself in five words or less the differential aim of my ephemeral idea to this.)

I lived, I died. The end.

Okay, for serious this time:

Freedom. No greater joy, responsibility, need.
