“Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.”

– Ernest Hemingway

Life is about the journey: we all die in the end. I know for me I often get caught up in the minutiae, especially after a particularly during a dumpster-fire of a week like the one I have had. I know this doesn’t appear to be related at all to the quote of the week, but it kind of is!

Our life is the summation of memories and experiences – that is what ultimately sets each of us apart from one another. We all die in the end, what really matters is the journey… but when I am wrapped up I cannot enjoy the journey. For me I find it so helpful to think about the length of my life; how things that were frustrating 10 years ago I barely remember today and something today that has me fired up won’t matter years from now when I am on my deathbed. I find that freeing in a way.

What do you think about this quote, and what quote do you want to share this week? 

I’ve decided that I may not continue posting a Sentranced Saturday quote every week. Sometimes I don’t have anything to say and the pressure of digging up something on occasion isn’t fun or meaningful to me. I created a meme homepage here that can be linked to for those that participate, and I will continue to join in when I have inspiration! For now my International Reader Interviews will be posted on Saturdays.
