For me the best title I could use is "Tomatoes and Soy sauce". Sounds weird but it how my character was developed.
Tomatoes and soy sauce was a staple viand in our house back when my dad left us for another woman. My mom being just a government worker need to stretch the budget in order for us to get through paycheck to paycheck. But that built my character. I learn how to mature at an early age. I learn the value of money. I also learned how to strive hard for one to achieve ones dream. Most important of all, I learn that think of hardship as character formation or building. Learn from it and go out from it. Never rebel or give up the fight.
Whatever achievements I have now, its because of what happened in the past. Those tomatoes as well as the soy sauce are the witness to our triumph.
What would best describe your life?

Actually it still is! I grew up with seven brothers and two sisters. I have two children - Bree, a chef in Spokane, Washington, who has given me two - soon to be three, beautiful grandchildren, and Joe, who is with the 10th Mt. unit out of Fort Drum, New York. I live with the funniest man on earth up on Redneck Mt. in Cashmere, Washington, and I love making jewelry and writing poetry. Life has been and continues to be good. Thank God!

Mine would be titled "Observe."
I keep getting the feeling that I was meant simply to observe any and everything around me, in order to report it later on. To who/what, I don't know. Nor do I really care. But I always feel distanced from almost any activity, any normal situation for someone of my gender/age. I've attempted to break past whatever invisible barrier there is, but...
Anyway, my story would be all of the things I've noticed, the people I've seen, places I've been.

Nice one! I think your the kind of person who could enjoy sitting on the corner and just watching things as they go by. Relaxing past time and when with a companion you could also make a game out of it. :)
