Life

What does it mean to be amongst the living? Some might say that to live is to maintain a life and survive each day. Others might define it a little differently. Anybody can stay alive, but to be among those that truly live seems to be rare in this day and age. People get so bogged down with their lives, their emotional baggage, their obligations, that they can find themselves among the living dead. Each day is just one step towards a goal, be that a successful career, a family, or some end goal that they have set up for themselves. There's nothing wrong with these dreams, but the problem is the perception of the journey. To many people, they see the journey as merely the pathway to a happy lifestyle some time down the road. The journey is seen as a vehicle, and as such, many people don't appreciate the journey and what it has to offer. The journey could be so much more than what people see it as. Instead, people idly sit by and let their lives run on autopilot and cannot appreciate the beauty that is everyday life. I've been guilty of this countless times and I've found myself slipping back into that same state of sedation. My life oftentimes seems to follow a pattern of automation at times. Wake up, go to school, do homework, go to work, then sleep. There's no bettering of oneself and no appreciation of the here and now in a schedule like that. I have to snap myself out of the situation oftentimes and that's why I've created this blog. This blog is meant to keep me on track, to help me truly experience life to the fullest. I don't want to miss out on a single moment that life has to offer.
