Being alive is easy
Pretty much anyone can do it even if it's just for a little while.

Are you actually living?
Living is not so simple as to be breathing.  
It's what we see that takes our breath away.
The blood rushing through your veins does not make you living.  
But the moments when you heard your heart beating in your ears...

When you're lying on your death bed thinking about your life will you be pondering the fact that you possess a beating heart?
No.
You will be considering all of the times you felt your heart race, drop, or skip a beat.

Do not allow your existence to be mundane.
If you are bored with your life, change it.
If you are upset, allow yourself to be happy.

Take a break, take a breath, take a day off.
Make decisions the way you want to.
The more you love your decisions the less other people have to love them.

Feel your hands shake,
lose your breath and catch it again.
Life's for the living so live it.
Or you're better off dead.
