Start any relationship or friendship with anything other than the most brutal of honesty and the frankest version of myself that can be shown. What's your THAT?
It was play softball again that sparked the memoir. I used to, but a series of injuries and surgeries have ended that once important part of my life. I think I probably have a long list, if I'm being realistic.
Accidentally throw my keys, make that my apartment, mailbox, and lobby keys, down the 6th floor garbage chute into the compactor. Thankfully it was 7:20AM on a Friday and maintenance was coming at 7:45AM. Told them that would never happen again. Changed the wording to "it is unlikely that will ever happen again." One never knows. Victory at last. They found my keys... at the very BOTTOM of the compactor. Whew!
Date someone who is legally married -- even if they are separated, going through a divorce *whatever* they are STILL married... and they have work to do that they should do alone.
Next up is calling, texting, or otherwise contacting my former sweetheart at Christmas, thinking that *this time* it will be different and he will totally love and cherish me.
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
