In today's society many people seem to think that the words "live" and "survive" means the same thing. This is something that I have been thinking about for a couple of days now, and looking back on my life I have realized that they mean two different things!
To survive takes a lot of strength, to get through tough periods in life.. betrayal by your friends and family, loss of love, unsuccessful studies or whatever else that has been a setback one's life. Big, just as small, setbacks takes strength to get through, a strength that exists within us, in every individual, that we did not know was there. And when we think that we won't be able to pull through, that we can't do it anymore, that's when we find new strength.. Some of us find it in our friends, family, siblings, God, even strangers.. they give us new strength to pull through another day until we see the light at the end of the dark tunnel at last.
But to really live, THAT takes courage! To really open your eyes and take a step forward and realize that you have a place in this world, to open your heart for new acquaintances and love that is heading towards us. To suggest a new idea at work or school, or to take off your shoes and walk barefoot in the green summer-grass. To try a new fruit that you have never tasted before or to travel to a place that has a culture different from your own.. That is what I call to living..
So do you really live, or are you simply a survivor?
About Me
- AnCi
- One morning an angel decided to leave heaven and fly down to Earth. Three amazing persons took care of this little angel; two wonderful grown-ups and a three-years-older boy. Childhood was like in paradise for this innocent being, exactly like she was used to in heaven. But soon she learned about life's disappointments, she felt that she was different from everyone else. But her dad, who was very protective of his little angel, made everything bad go away and she felt safe again. But the evlis came back and she had to fight through it once again. Despite many setbacks and challanges in her life, she is standing tall today! She is studying at the University, she has made real friends and she is happier than she has ever been. She is still daddy's little girl, a very spoilt kid as many jealous people would say. She has become a young woman who many people want to be, a girl that many boys would like to have.. She is simply an angel in disguise that does not live in heaven! /AnCi
