How would you describe yourself in five words? – Wired PR Lifestyle Story

The other day, I was thinking about this funny mention By Nora Ephron:

“We have a game that we play when we wait at the restaurant tables, where you have to write down five things that describe yourself on a piece of paper. When I was [in my twenties], I would put: ambitious, Wellesley graduate, daughter, Democrat, marriage. Ten years later, none of these five things appeared on my list. I was: journalist, feminist, New Yorker, divorced, funny. Not one of these five things is on my list today: writer, director, mother, sister, happy. ”

What would be your words? When I first posted about this quote seven years ago, my children were children, and my words were “writer, friend, mother, sleepy, lovable.”

These days, I would say, “writer, friend, mother, traveler, inspired.” First, I really got into it on foot a treasure I’ve been wandering around in my daily neighborhood for so many years. And by the word “inspired,” I really mean TV shows, movies, books, podcasts, and more. they are very good these days, and I feel empowered by that. And with social media – like Sequential parodies and Posts by McSweeney – Everyone seems to be discussing culture all the time, and I’m here for that.

In a recent podcast, a comedian / writer / actor Amy Poehler50-year-old: “I’m digging this time. The other day I was telling a friend of mine that there should be another term like the middle crisis. As everyone likes to say, it’s going to be a mid-term crisis. I’d like to upgrade to a version where you started, for example, a central discovery or progress, I don’t know. The Renaissance. Re-nai-sance ”. I agree with that! I mean, the winter is dark, and the pandemic feels like it’s endless, and ordinary life has big ups and downs, but I’m 42 years old and I’m sorry, I don’t know, myself right now.

I’m curious to hear: how would you describe yourself in five words during this chapter of your life? And another Ephron story: “I have a theory that kids remember two things: when you weren’t there and when they were dumped.”
