Sometimes we hear a line that makes us think, Yes, that's it exactly! Yesterday an excellent writer in my Saturday group, Regina Moya, shared such a line from her novel. (And this morning she gave me permission to quote her.)
Unfortunately, I do not read Spanish (had to go to the online translator for my sentence last week), so Regina translated it:
de nada sirve escoger SER un personaje, porque al final, en una sola vida alcanzamos a ser todos.
Choosing to BE someone in life is not worth the effort, because at the end, you get to be ALL the characters.
She related how she used to be horrified if one of her children pretended to be someone she thought was a bad role model. Now, mother of three, she is more relaxed--thinking, that's just who he is now; he'll be someone else next week.
