I knew Coelho was talking about me instantly, speaking to me right in my face the moment I had the book open. I could easily be Maria, through her travels, her adventure, the heartbreaks. I too had spoken about the decisions that I had made, the dreams I had woven myself into, the disappointment and the loss that Maria had no choice (did she really not?) but to go throug life with.

It isn't supposed to be fair, so that's how they had life understood.

"Some people were born to face life alone, and this is neither good or bad, it is simply life. Maria is one of those people."

- Paulo Coelho
