Well hello there. Since this is my first post, let me tell you a little bit about this blog. Dum vivimus vivamus is a Latin phrase that means "While we live, let us live." For some reason, I just love that saying. Let us live! We are so bogged down by societal expectations and pressures that, sometimes, we lose sight of our own desires. I want to free myself of those restraints. Let me live. That's all I ask.
Howard Roark says in The Fountainhead, "I came here to say that I do not recognize anyone's right to one minute of my life. Nor to any part of my energy. Nor to any achievement of mine. No matter who makes the claim, how large their number or how great their need. I wished to come here and say that I am a man who does not exist for others."
Why can't we all live this way? My life is my life. You can't control it, nor can you have any part of it. It's a simple statement. Living it out is not so simple, though. In this blog, I will simply be myself. Read it, don't read it, but know that it exists just as I do.
"I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction." (Ayn Rand)
