Life

In this world, we only get one life. One! One? When I look at it that way, it makes me think. If I only have one life, why do I not value it the way I do others? I used to think it had no value whatsoever, I walked this world lost and unplugged from the very essence that gave me my breath. Life! I feel like I didn’t have one. Pain, agony, and despair made a home in my heart, and decided to get comfortable. How is it that words of comfort and the assurance that things are going to be OK are easy to tell others in distress, yet I don't believe those same words for myself?

We get one life in this world, am I wasting it away or learning valuable lessons? I guess it’s a matter of perspective. I pretend to be someone I am not; or do I fight the person I am, to go back to the familiar? What does winning look like? What does losing look like? Perceived losses to me seem far grander than those victories for which I didn’t fight for. Now, did those victories come as a result of those downfalls? If that’s the case, are losses more of a victory than wins? No feeling lasts forever, no pain or joy lasts forever, nothing lasts forever. So why discard pain and try to forget it; yet happy is what I try to be. Can one really enjoy one without the other?

Life is hard and unforgiving at times, it pushes us to the depths of despair which we feel we cannot climb out of. Life is also very giving and kind. Understanding this has given me freedom and peace of mind which is priceless. I have learned to appreciate difficult times because it magnifies and intensifies the good times. Time is the most valuable thing we have during this lifetime. Why squander it away and wish time moved faster or slower? Time is time, and it’s constant, it will not slow down or speed up for anyone. Once it has passed tho, it’s gone forever. Has it though? I think not, cherishing time allows us to hold on to those moments for as long as we live. I’ve also learned the gift of being in the moment, whether good or bad, truly being there with another loved one, friends, and special moments with others is very precious. Why not submerge yourself in it? When you look at it, we’ll have the ability to vividly enjoy those moments as if they were happening all over again.

Life is Life! We only get One! One single Life can make a difference in so many others. One single Life can save another Life, by simply being their true self when no one else would. One single life can give life to another by sharing their Life’s journey. Life is beautiful! Life is a masterpiece! Life is simply Life! We only get One! Don’t wait until you're on your deathbed to realize you were worried about all the wrong things your whole life.

LIFE IS AMAZING!!
