In 2006, Larry Smith issued a challenge to his online community: encapsulate your life in a six-word memoir. It quickly became a phenomenon, with people all around the world chiming in.

As an introvert, people often think I'm not participating in the world. But I am, in my own way. I'm also a nature lover, from my days growing up in a rural area, and a free spirit who loves life. Even as the quiet type, I love sky diving, paddle boarding, tubing, riding roller coasters and other thrill-seeking activities. My bucket list includes going in a shark cage and snorkeling with sharks.
Here are my takes at expressing my life in 6 words:
Introvert, introspective, smiling in the sunshine.
Living in my head, breathing fresh air.
Living out loud, in my way.
It's a wonderful world, come in.
See the world through my eyes.
Born again, experiencing life first hand.
Free spirit awed by nature's beauty.
Soaking in sunshine; my movie plays.
Starring in the movie of life.
Starting over, getting it right now.
Thinking, laughing, while the music plays.
Touched by nature, blessed by God.
Hello sunshine, come out and play.
In my head, living out loud.
What's your favorite one?
