Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

ErikaStellar says,

WOW! I was waiting to see what others said. I'll go first though, I think forever because forever is a commitment to something/someone/some experience in life. Forever is a choice of no return, regardless of the outcome. Never means you don't have the experience to compare anything to/with so in a sense, never doesn't exist for it's 'size' to be determined.

TheAngstyPoet says,

Sometimes I hesitate to answer sixing question...
I think never is bigger because if you never do it you'll never know. If you do something at least it'll always be apart of you. But never will gnaw you.

Dragonflower says,

I went to a wedding where the bride told her groom, "I will love you forever, in this lifetime and the next." Everyone cried, including the bride and the groom and the officiant. It was a declaration and promise that seemed real and believable. The bride was not one to make empty promises. Ever. I have no doubt she will keep her promise of forever.

I use never a lot. I'm never going to eat cheese again. Then I do. I'll never layer my hair again. And, of course, I do and regret it. The list goes on. About the only never I have is I have never smoked, never used drugs, and I never swear. All three are huge, though. To me, anyway.

So maybe the bigness depends on how important the thing is to the individual.

TheAngstyPoet says,

Interesting viewpoint. Priority and significance is a pretty big part of it. Maybe there are categories to sort of thing.

ErikaStellar says,

True about the gnawing Angsty, and I love the point you make DF.
The "bigness" is subjective...I think both are scary as heck no matter what...both never and forever can be considered a commitment or a regret.

At first I thought the answer was simple...now not so much.

The word 'forever' jumped out at me, so I'll trust my gut and go with that. And even on second thought, it's still 'forever.'

Redx3 says,

Never, because the lack is so apalling. Although you can go without something forever, never would command it of you. It is so forbidding.
