- Well, I'm game to trying to define it. It's taken me long enough to
- find it, anyway...
- Life is being happy with who you are, without feeling the need to
- change for anyone, or change anyone for your needs.
- Life is not regretting things you've done. This is preceded by the
- fact that you have to not do things you're sure to regret.
- Life is learning from those times when you *do* regret what you've
- done.
- Life is finding that special someone who makes you realize that to live
- to the fullest, you need to give also.
- Life is love. (sorry, there ain't no better way to put it)
-
- Well, that isn't really 'a life', but rather life itself. Anyone care
- to add to it?
