One Word
Suppose you had to pick one word to describe yourself. Your first reaction, I assume, is that it is impossible. You are so many different things, in so many different contexts. No one word can capture more than a tiny slice.
Now suppose I ask you to think of people you know, and see how many of them you can describe in one word. Suddenly it gets a lot easier. He’s a jerk, she’s hot, he’s a loser, she’s a nerd, etc.
This exercise only gets hard when you apply it to yourself. Let’s test this theory. Today’s challenge is to come up with:
1. One word to describe yourself
2. One word to describe me (since I’m the only one you all sort of know)
The only rule is that people who have survived some terrible illness or situation can’t pick “survivor” as their one word. Too easy.
Go.
