High off Life....
Today, I was posed with a very serious question: Why is life so....beautiful? Mind yo that my isn't anywhere near the easiest. Being a young black male, the middle of 5 children born to a single mother who is a gang memeber has its challenges inherently. Not only that, but my life is particularly hard for reasons i don't wanna state right now. The point is, life is hard, as hell. But if my life is so bad....why do I love every single moment of it? that is the question of the day, and i think i came up with an answer.
I believe that the reason I love being alive so much, regardless of how horrible it gets somedays, is that I make it worth living. I do everything that i possibly can so that my life can be better someday. Because i am so focused on this goal, i try to acheive as much as possible so that i could make it better, and sometimes i succeed, sometimes i don't. but that only is a thrill that i enjoy to the fullest. That's one reason, but there is another.
I've found that if you associate yourself with people who share your desire for a better life, they will encourage you in everyway, that is if these are good people, mind you. it isn't a good idea to be around people that don't want to go anywhere. Its apart of the crab syndrome. It there are a bunch of crabs in a barrel, eventually one is going to try to get out. And when that one crab attempts this, the others will try to pull him down. You see what i mean?
With that being said, being around a bunch of positive people makes life all the more enjoyable. And when these people are ones that you love (as friends or more), it creates a high of positvity that can't be described. The people i associate with, my friends and my girl more accurately, make my life the great experience it is. My girl, who has recently become such a big part of my life this december, has really made it something special. Being around her is just a joy, and i cherish every second of it.
No matter how bad life gets, the fact that you are alive makes it wonderful by itself. I don't understand people who say there's nothing to live for. I think thats bullshit, life can always get better, if you want it to. Like i say every day....
