There is a line from Rent I like, “Life’s too short, baby. Time is flying. I’m looking for baggage that goes with mine.” Everyone has baggage and if I wait until I have dealt completely with mine, it’ll be too late. My future partner can take me as I am, and I will take him as he is.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
