The way it made me smile...

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide that your journey is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing opportunity - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it; where it takes you and if it, someday perhaps, leads you home. And what is home, if not a place you make up in your own mind? Something you dream about and sing about. Maybe it's not a place on the map at all, but just a story full of people you meet and places you visit, full of books and films you've been to. I'm not afraid of being homesick and having no language to live in. I don't have to be like anyone else. I'm walking on the wall and nobody can stop me.
