Life doesn't have a purpose unless you let it.

She'd been waiting her whole life for someone to ask her who she was.

"My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened."
--Montaigne

"We could have a life, we two. Maybe not like you remember. Maybe not like I imagined. But we could get by."
--'Sweeney Todd'

Life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. It's being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. It's running so hard, you can barely breathe. It's the feeling of panic when you know you've been caught doing something wrong. It's having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. It's opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. It's letting people go because new ones come in, and all the while realizing that life doesn't have a purpose unless you let it.
