What does it really mean to live? Does it mean you breathe in and out, have a pulse and brain activity? Is that what being alive is? Yes, some would say. You are alive if your body continues to keep you that way.
If it were as simple as that, we wouldn't have all of the controversy we do over euthanasia, suicide and what quality of life looks like. We would simply see living as a biological process. So, what does it mean to live?
I think to live is to be. It is to be you without hang-ups and worries that drag you to a place where you aren't sure who you really are. To live is to enjoy the people, experiences and things around you. It's the ability to look at something you have seen time and again but still appreciate all that it means. To live is to reflect, laugh, forgive, love and keep moving forward. Living is not stagnant or motionless. It is a state of perpetual motion that grows and creates. Living is beautiful.
