- André Gide, Les faux-monnayeurs (The Counterfeiters)
Technically, that's a misquote, but the sentiment is nonetheless the same.
The courage to lost sight of the shore.
That courage, that independence, is a muscle, worked and built up over time and effort.
It's what led me to where I am now.
Far from "home", if I can even call it that in the first place.
It's not the first time.
Will it be the last? Who can say.
But it's a brave new world nevertheless.
Decisions and sacrifices made years ago under somewhat different auspices have culminated in a will possessed, and a way found.
May it lead to a life, made.
