I’ve always loved six-word memoirs, and the other day I saw a fellow slicer used them to slice about her feelings lately. Here’s my version.
Just an ordinary life told through stories.

The world is with you. The coronavirus not only kills people but is in our brain almost all the time.I hope tomorrow is one of the good connecting days.
It won’t go away. I wish it would!
Love this type of memoir, just wish our memoirs right now could be more positive. No such luck for a little while. Stay strong over there Ennif! Love ya!
Thanks Shags! You stay safe too!!
Oh, that normalcy. So many things that I miss right now.
Any of these/ all of these describe my feelings, too. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing what can within the space of six words. These reflections are sharp and real. They get to the crux without ceremony which feels just right for these times.
Thank you for your kind words!
I hope the break has helped you to build your resilience for the next weeks to follow. How will you approach the next weeks? Do you plan any changes to the distance learning and your daily routines? How do you plan to fill your cup? I ask these questions because we heard that we will continue for DL at least until May. The first full week was tiring. Reading your posts helped me as we started our DL.
I think that when this is over we have to redefine normalcy.
You speak to everyone’s hearts! Whoever thought normalcy would be what we’d crave!
I like the six word memoirs. It is hard to encapsulate all that is going on and that I am feeling in writing, and I appreciate the way you parsed it down and got to the heart of the frustration and distress and longing, but also some of the positives. There are some upsides to our new realities, even if some days they are harder to find than others.
I always love 6-word memoirs, too! Glad you liked it. 🙂
