Life is not just breathing,it is not just a heartbeat and not just waking up every morning. It is the small little things we engage in everyday, the few or many people we interact with. It is the happy peaks of our lives where we can't help feeling accomplished and satisfied. It is the dark times when nothing makes sense. It is the moments we share with those we love. It is the times with soak our pillows in tears when in pain. It is the times we are so in love we feel like we are floating in the air. It is the episodes we are so heartbroken, we feel worthless.
It is the times we meet new people and get to know them. It is the moments we meet a person whom we click so effortlessly with. It is the seasons we go through hell and back and feel like God has forsaken us. It is the episodes we feel so favored, we praise like there's no tomorrow. It is the dark time we lose our close friends and we have no reasons for it. It is the 'careless-times' we live life on the edge like we are trying to rub it on someone's face.
See life is about the little moments, the phases, the episodes, the feelings and emotions that come with all this. It is about the times we fall so hard we feel like it's rock bottom. It is the way we wake up from a fall, shake the dust off and soldier on.
The short lived special moments in life that make us smile every time, is what I call life. Not to mention the sad times that make us weep every time we remember them.
Life is what you make it, cliché or not it has a lot of content in it. Everyone chooses how to live, even though they feel restrained by their environment. Even those in prison choose how to live out their sentence; some bully others, others get bullied and others turn their life around. So everyone has a choice, choose how you live wisely.
I know a guy who lived his life to the full, he was one of those guys that inspire you to check and change your life around. He lived his life out loud if that makes any sense. Though I feel he was taken from us too soon, I choose to believe God's plan which I don't quiet comprehend yet. But all in all, he had his great moment and a lot of break through in his endeavours. May your soul rest in peace Lawrence Gatimu ..I choose to believe you are in a better place. "Tutaonana baadaye"
