It is one thing to exist and another to live
So I was talking with Lisa and I ripped out this quote that I have been using for a little while and I have only just realized how true it is. To exist is to be apart of this world be a alive in some shape or form but to actually live is another act totally different from existing. To live we must engaged in everyday life and not be afraid and not be misanthropic and treasure life because it is precious. We should try and not to fear hurt and rejection because there are many ways to come back from it. it is a far better thing to accept rejection and loss then to be afraid your entire life and wonder about if only's. We must seize our opportunities and go ahead into the world or else when we are old and wrinkled what will have to reflect on if we had only existed and not lived?

a marjority of people today live behind so many lies that have built up over years, and now they fear to tell the truth. if they get all these lies off there chest they will be faced with possibly alot of regret and the chance of losing everything. far more- should one risk losing everything to live a life of internal happyness?
everyone lives behind a lie or a fear but to what extent why live behind them and use them to manipulate what we want is the real question isnt it? if one is eteranlly happy then they wouldnt be losing very much would they?
Hey Belinda - popped over from my NZ blog to say hi and thanks for your kind comments. I chose this post to comment on because it wholeheartedly encompasses my views on life, and the reason my hubby and I don't stant still. We've lived and travelled the globe, and will do so until we die. We take risks, it makes our hearts beat faster and stronger, and we won't be leaving this planet with many, if any, what-ifs. Not if I can help it! Great blog, great insight, and so young too! Keep it going...... Helen Leggatt x
