    musica est mea vita


    vita= life, as in the sense of way of life - so that is a good one to use - but you might consider using anima instead.
    anima means breath, or even spirit - that which 'animates'
    if you used 'musica est mea anima' it would be more akin to saying 'music is what makes me breathe', therefore, my life

    • Correct, but remember Latin generally favors subject object verb syntax.

    • you are right - I had in my head something that an old Latin teacher once said about exceptions - but of course, it should be musica mea anima est!
      Mea culpa!

      Heavens !! Imagine if someone got a tattoo with incorrect latin syntax! That would be sooo embarrassing!!!!!
