Life is, I Change everything Until I Make it The way I Want

Life. A word with a thousand meanings. And if I ask you what life means, what will you tell me? You can answer; Is it the maturation process of the body? Is this the time between birth and death? Is it a single moment? Is it the number of your heartbeats?

As much as I have searched for the meaning of this word, no interpretation satisfies me. Neither do you. And if you haven’t done it yet, I challenge you to do it. Search in books, in pages, in articles, in words of the wise. You will never find something concrete, an ideal description for this small word, with three letters, which hides so many other letters inside it.

Searching for the meaning of the word “life”, I end up again and again in the search for the meaning of life, the meaning of life. She here, of this world, of now, in this universe and this dimension, with this God. And this meaning of life that people have been searching for centuries, the sought-after meaning of life, will remain unexplained. I’m telling you but I think you already know that. No one will be able to come out and tell the world on a random day of the year what this infamous meaning of life is. You do. Not a scientist, not a philosopher, not you, not even me.

And you know why; Because the meaning of life is not universal, it is not a common method to be followed, it is not a recipe repeatedly told over the centuries. The meaning of life and therefore its importance is something unique for everyone… That’s why there will never be a universal definition. Because you are with your life, I am with mine. Unique and unrepeatable lives, a gift from God and nature, a more precious gem than all the fanciest in the whole world.

In this society you live in, you forgot that you hold in your hands the most expensive jewel, the most precious commodity. You forgot that you hold a life in your arms, that you carry it on your shoulders, that it is wrapped around your neck. You take her so much for granted that you don’t even see her. You forget to dream, you forget to breathe. Every day the same route, every day the same people, every day the same sadness, every day the same, every day. But you forget that today will not come again, it happens yesterday, and tomorrow comes and it also happens today and it will also take the place of yesterday, that yesterday that you don’t care about, that is your trash can. And that’s because you forgot about today again, you put it aside, you took it for granted and you don’t see it anymore.

But if you sit down and think about how many things went by today that didn’t touch you, you didn’t learn anything new, you didn’t laugh today, you didn’t do something that really pleased you, you didn’t dream… Maybe you’ll get a little scared. And think now that the time that passed was not given to you and that’s why it doesn’t come back.

Instead of getting up from your routine and punching the knife without fear of pain, with the hope and certainty of healing as an ally, you sit on your sofa and enjoy a “reassurance”. What assurance are you talking about? Everything is virtual. There is never any real certainty anywhere.

You sit in your pond and swim, thinking that nothing will disturb it, no waves and no sharks. But you don’t calculate that little by little your still lake starts to bog down. At its bottom, the swamp is born a hidden, sad swamp. He is slow to reach the surface, for you to see him, but even so you know. You know that something is not as before, something darkens the waters of your lake. And instead of doing something about it, you stand as a mere observer of its deterioration.

Since you are not satisfied with the life you are living, why don’t you change it? I know how scared you are but you will be even more scared when you are old and look back on the past years. Those years when you could have loved your lake and instead let it become a swamp. Don’t let time pass any more. Look and find ways to change anything you don’t like. And if you fail, get back up and try. Change them all until you like them! Don't be afraid of anything! Don’t be afraid to live! How do you accept to reach death without having fulfilled your wishes, without having lived a dream life. Dream for you! Like you dreamed of her since you were a little kid.

Don’t care what others will say, don’t be afraid to expose yourself to the world and claim your dreams, and your
