This week George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder, the Canadian penny was discharged as form of currency in Canada and the tabloids claimed that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were getting charged up in the Big Apple. This week’s Six-Word-Memoirs took intimate twists and turns as well. Some authors bemoan heartsickness or seek friendship, while others ail from more literal aspects of sociality and romance. As spring arrives, we begin to shed our layers, show some skin, and get our hearts and minds around the myriad problems that can accompany social life: embarrassment, confusion, disagreement, and exposure to germs.
