Life is something you can't really buy.. it's kind of an opportunity that God chooses to give to people.
So when you're born that's a gift from God, to your parents and to yourself. As you grow up you make more and more mistakes, which is normal we're only human, what makes the major difference between us and animals, other than the brain part, is whether we choose to learn from our mistakes or not.
Having a life doesn't neccesarily mean living. Being alive is a verb, meaning a doing word in grammar, in order to be alive you need to live, experience the joy and sorrow life gives you, no one can tell you the meaning of living except yourself.. and the best part.. is that YOU choose what you want. YOU choose to be happy, sad, excited, bored, a n y t h i n g. Your life, your choices.. as long as they do not affect others negatively!
I choose to be happy, and for that I will not let anything affect my meaning of living.. Living to find happiness!
