This book is a kind of putting together entries in diaries and scribbles on paper that I did from time to time, almost like a compulsive habit. I have also written about certain aspects that have deeply affected me, like nature, friends, relationships and of course, death. Towards the end of my life, I have an inner compulsion to speak about my time on this planet which has been mixed, on the whole, not bad at all.

As the title of the book suggests, this is a memoir of the long life that I have lived.
