And there were a thousand things that I did not choose,
that came to me suddenly
and transformed my life.
Good and bad things that I was not looking for,
paths along which I lost my way,
people who came and went,
a life I didn't expect.
And I chose, at least, how to live it.
I chose dreams to decorate it,
the hope to sustain it,
the courage to face it."
