You are writing a memoir about your life and you only get to use 6 words:
Frank Sinatra might have written:
"I really did it my way."
What's yours?

You are writing a memoir about your life and you only get to use 6 words:
Frank Sinatra might have written:
"I really did it my way."
What's yours?
When I was 16, I fully came out. I went back in (in theory) when I married by Best Friend who was 23. When I stopped living my *Lie* - It was my rebirth.
"The Second Coming of Julie *" (* Surname)
Though... In reality when I did begin to write my personal memoirs of it - I left out my surname - but you asked for six (lol) and I like to follow rules.
