When I was younger, though, I had a pretty clear idea . I'm having fun trying different things out these days, and I hope that will always be the case. To a degree similar to that Rebecca West indicates in this piece. Generally, I try to live as best I can, without disregarding others, and without paralyzing myself with hesitations. I try to learn and not regret , to risk , but not foolishly.
Happiness is a worthy guiding principle.
I'm frequently independent-minded in my relationships. To attempt to put it succinctly, I think life is terminal, but that it doesn't need transcendental or devine or immortal qualities to make it worth living, doing good in the world, and being a good citizen of the earth. I like what I like, and I try to strike a balance between making myself happy without centering all I do on selfish pleasures. My vision of the world is as a net of strands and spaces, of which I am part . As part of that, I try to make the people in my life a priority.
