I'd lived by quotations, practically all my life.

I have lived all my life as part of an ethnic conflict.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

In silence - and in self-defense - I figured things out in my own little way.

I have lived my life in a culture that hates fat people.

It doesn't matter what people think of me. I've lived my life.
