“I could die for you. But I couldn't and wouldn't live for you.”
~ Ayn Rand
There is definitely a huge difference in "dying" for someone and "living" for someone. I want to live "with" the people in my life whom I love, and I think that is exactly what this quotation is attempting to relate. If you ever find yourself making every decision, choosing every action, voicing every word, simply to please someone else or because this person needs you to do so for their survival...run. Run far and do not stop until you feel yourself again, feel your breath, hear your own thoughts. Living for someone else is no way to live, but living with someone is beautiful music.
