i'm here, now what?

i think i've always known the difference between being alive, and living.

 

but more than KNOWING the difference, i can FEEL the difference.

for me being alive, is as simple and easy as breathing. you're alive without even really trying. (unless you have asthma or something, in which case disregard that last statement. my apologies.)

to be alive is easy. all you have to do is exist. you're sitting there. you're reading this. you're alive. 

but are you really living?

living. living. living. 

living is hard. because to live you have to feel. i don't know if you're a fan of feeling, because it's possible that i have never met you ever. but i think everyone should know that i do like feeling. whether its good or bad. it reminds me that i am living. 

and for the record, by "living" i don't mean: "go out every night and have a raging party where you lose more than just your phone." no no no no. 

by "living" i mean: "doing whatever you can to feel more than just alive."

all i ask is that you do more to live, than to just be alive.

stay gold, kids.
