Jac Vanek's Quote

I remembered reading this quote several years ago and I also remembered thinking that this quote is beautiful. After doing some research, I found that the quote belongs to Jac Vanek, a designer. It goes like this.

You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind.

Reading those words now, I still find them beautiful. It's amazing how such small things, compiled or not, can define us as a person. Maybe it isn't fair to define a person solely on the small things they do, since the person's past and present is also something that can't be ignored. But, the little things do showed a lot. So, this quote is also a reminder for me to cherish everything that I had, have and will encounter.
