TO LIVE!!!

I think that at the end of the day

Life is nothing more than living

Life gives you surprises and brings you surprises

I think learning to live is…

Living, with consequences of the past

Living, with people you didn't choose

Living, loving what you want and not being able to achieve it

Living, hating what leaves marks on us

Living, remembering memories

Living, without having what you thought you would have

Living, watching everything you want disappear

Living, accepting the beginnings and ends of our existence

I think living is everything

I think living is nothing more than moving forward and going back

And moving forward

Retracing a path

That doesn't have everything we expect

And learning to live with it and without it

Living tests how strong we are

When it takes away our hopes

When it seems like it has robbed us of our strength

Life gives us the surprise

The surprise of knocking us down

And the surprise of getting back up.

And I say this because I don't think I'm the only one

Because I went through it

And because we all go through it

But, nevertheless

We keep living

Because this is living.
