Your life is definitely a testament to WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO DO IN THAT LIFE. What does "getting away with it" mean exactly? That you are still alive? That you have a temporary job? That you can still see and hear? In what way did you "get away" with doing whatever the fuck you wanted to do? You, like every single other person on this planet have gotten away with nothing. Every aspect of every detail of your life is the result of everything you have done and chosen not to do. You are a 'final product', right now, of all of these choices. You have escaped nothing. You are the combined effects of everything you have said and done and felt for all of the collective moments of your life.
