 | "Où que vôtre vie finisse, elle y est toute. L'utilité du vivre n'est pas en l'espace, elle est en l'usage: tel a vécu long temps, qui a peu vécu: attendez-vous-y pendant que vous y êtes. Il gît en vôtre volonté, non au nombre des ans, que vous ayez assez vécu." ~Michel de Montaigne |
Wherever your life ends, there it all is. The worth of a life is not measured by length, but by the use of it; some have lived long but lived little; attend to it while you are in it. Whether you have lived enough depends not on the number of your years,
but on the strength of your will.
I was born in Los Angeles, grew up in New Hampshire, and went to college in Boston. After graduation, I spent three years living and working in LA, long enough to decide definitively that I am not a California girl; I did, however, come away with good experience and great friends. Now I'm striking off in the other direction, across the pond, to see if English weather suits me better than constant 72-degree sunshine. |
