Six-word memoirs are a fun way to tell a story in a snapshot. These reflect how I’m feeling at the moment.
Work never stops. I need rest.
Mind spinning. Never-ending lists piling up.

I love the way these memoirs focus on one theme. My favorite: Can I just hit pause? Please. Thank you for reminding me about six-word memoirs. Economy of expression.
Short and sweet 🙂
Six word response: Take time to breathe and relax. 🙂
haha I love it!
That pretty much sums up 2020/2021, doesn’t it? Wishing you time to rest, recharge, and power down.
Thanks!
I love 6 word memoirs! Thanks for sharing yours. Number 4 especially resonated with me. Haha!
6 word memoirs! I always forget about these; thanks for the reminder about the form. Can I just hit pause? Please? — is evergreen.
Oh, I hope you got some time to shut down your brain and decompress for a bit. I used to think DAYS like that were the worst. I’m not quite sure what we are supposed to do with an entire YEAR like that. Hang in there. Spring Break has to be coming soon!
This is good. Not good what you are going through, but expressing that exhaustion in just the right way!
Thank you!!
