The meaning of your life is not determined by how efficiently it can be summarized.

A life is not a proposition, and the demand that it summarize cleanly is imported from contexts that have nothing to do with living. Most of what makes yours particular is exactly what gets lost in any short account of it, which says something about summaries rather than about you.

When you feel pressure to explain what your life amounts to, notice that the format is doing the work. Answer if you want, and do not let the answer become the measure.
