Me & Life

What does it mean to live life? Is it to appreciate what each day gives you, whether it be good or bad? Or is it composed of the numerous goals that we strive to reach? Maybe I’m living life just because scientifically my heart is still beating. Of course, that sounds as exciting as being trapped in a white-walled room. I feel like painting those walls with life.

 

I'm seated and organized, ready to make—what should I make? I'm becoming aware of this "real world" that we have to be a part of. There’s no escaping this because history tells us this is what we have to do now. Just jump or get pushed in! I’ll have to continue to learn…read things I don’t quite understand, listen to strangers and their stories, and make the inevitable mistakes that hopefully won’t have too painful of a learning experience.

​

There are so many meanings and interpretations to life. The search is part of it. If I asked what I want for myself, I'd say I want to travel and see outside the four walls. My doubts and negativity will keep me safe, but it will also hold me back from living. I won't go to the extreme of saying yes to every opportunity, but I want to push myself and try things I wouldn't normally try. I want to take chances on things I'd turn down, just to discover what it really means and whether I'd enjoy doing it again. I may never know what it means to live life, but I’ll paint my way there.
