Six Word Memoir

Saved someone's life, now my turn.

This six word memoir is very puzzling. It makes me think about how precious life can be, and how easily it is lost. It also makes me want to be around all those that I love. It also makes me want to cry because I want to save everyone's life when there time comes.

Keith,
Your comment makes me curious. I wonder where those words come from. Your words deepen my perspective and give me a resolve to help others more. I hope someday I will learn this story because it sounds amazing and inspirational. :)

This takes "returning the favor" to a whole new level. This doesn't necessarily have to be literal for most people. If you really saved someone's life toodles to you, but this applies to me as just an implication.

Is this in as sense a way of saying it is your turn to be saved?Or saying your the one saved and now am willing to fully grasp and save another's?Maybe that a life saved is a life long lost already.

This comment is to clarify my meaning behind what I have wrote. I've literally saved my cousin's life 3 times. Once from getting smashed by a falling dresser filled with metal rocks, and other heavy stuff, he was three at the time, and I was eight almost nine years old. I also saved him twice from getting ran over by a car— one of those times I tossed him out of the way, and got hit myself, not critically though.
Now it's my turn to get my butt out of state's legal custody, o my life will be ruined and be damned. I'm running out of time, the state is irritated with my history of using up their time and money. I'm on thin ice. If I brake through I could be locked up in secure care (adolescent prison) until I turn 22 years old. So it's my turn to kick my ass in gear and do what it takes to save my future.
