They say live it how you want to Or else someone else will. This is my life, and I will Live it.
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from This Is My Life, chapter 7
In other words
Ownership is not automatic just because a life happens to be yours. Innocent’s claim is louder than that: not yours, but mine, repeated like something that needs saying twice to be believed. The alternative he names is somebody else living it for you, by default, if you never get around to claiming it yourself. Owning a life covers the bad along with the good — fortune and misfortune both, because refusing half of it would mean refusing to own the whole thing. A life lived your way is what makes it yours in the first place.
