‘Work and life are not separate things’
She said, “What if somebody’s life is only work? What if you don’t want to have a life apart from work? What is work to you? Work and life are not separate things. But I do understand now that everything, every issue, every fight, every battle, everything comes down to your individual needs and priorities… I don’t know any other life… I don’t have anything to compare it to. I don’t know if being single is defining how my life is right now, if that is why I am who I am. I don’t know how it would have been if I’d had somebody in my life. Maybe it would be better, maybe it would be worse. I don’t know, I will never know.”
‘I am very happy with my life’
Tabu also said, “I am very happy with my life. I mean, I’m not 20, and my definition of happy is not the same at 50. Happiness is overrated, everyone is trying to be happy. I think contentment is more important. Acceptance, too. I have always accepted myself as I am.”
