Six Word Memoir

I don’t want to need you.

Or

I don’t need to want you.

No, the first one.

I don’t want to need you.  (Implied - but I do, and there is not a damn thing I can do about it.)

  1. I hate wanting something I shouldn’t have.

  2. I love that I can’t stop thinking about you.

    That works in my life.

  3. Red- I may expound on this (since I will be out of town and I’ll have some time to THINK this week!) but really, this applies to everyone in my life - I don’t want to need people, but I do, and that makes me vulnerable and open to being disappointed. But it also opens up all kinds of ways to be surprised, if I could just look at it that way, you know?

    Brian - you can’t stop thinking about me? Why? Or did you mean something else entirely?

  4. Sorry Heather, I meant how I would word my six/seven word memoir.I do need someone and I’m not sorry in the least for feeling that way.

    I do think about you though and hope that life works out for you.

  5. I envy your ability to reduce it to six words. Well done.

    I’ve actually tried to write one of these, but I find myself rewriting to death and changing my mind about what direction to take. Hmmm… maybe that’s the direction I should be taking?

  6. Thanks, Howard. It has taken me months, thinking about it in the back of my head.
