Just Thinking: What would my biography title be?

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be?

This is an interesting writing prompt to think about. I would imagine that my biography be something pensive, nostalgic and heartfelt with some satirical humour and a longing for answers to questions not yet known. Some titles I could think of would be:

Doze

The Boy Who Lived

Maluco

To think about how I would approach a memoir, here is a sample of some of my writing I have in my notebook:

Growing up in Toronto was lively, sometimes provocative, but undoubtedly a blessing. The city was the epicentre of multiculturalism. So I was always surrounded with other ethnicities assimilating to a common ground. My classroom was like a pseudo United Nations conference. We were all trying to be Canadian while our parents were striving to maintain parts of what they recognized to be their heritage. Anybody from around the world can show up and find a connection to their ancestral homeland in Canada’s biggest city. It’s a place where you can be whatever you want. With that, there is a vibrant and engaged community for every culture, especially the Portuguese.
