And, I have nothing. I am nothing. I have one thing to look forward to these days and it hasn't happened yet.

I also learned that my life is not entirely my own. Otherwise, some things that had a profound effect on my life would not have even registered.

So, I am not so sure it is worth it, although I agree with the idea that your life is your own. Maybe one day we as a society can actually live that philosophy.
