About This Quote
The shape of my life is, of course, determined by many things; my background and childhood, my mind and its education, my conscience and its pressures, my heart and its desires. This quote reminds us that we may change over time and find ourselves in a different place than we were when we first reached adulthood. An example could be someone who was a person who became a mother at a young age and now works as a full-time mother to her children. Some choices made early on in life may not be the ones that end up defining the shape of our lives.
