What’s it like to live? - Help.com

I feel alive when I take risks.

I feel alive when I love, when I travel, when I express and when I find something I am passionate about.

Oh and when grief strikes as well. Or any hardships, really.

Nothing really shatters my “illusion” of life for I will be living until the day I die.

ha ha thanks…im notorious for my last lines…

Like life, wanna go out living to the max!

I just accept that life has its maximums and its minimums and i try to love it all for its all part of the experience of living a life.

I feel alive every day when I try to drag these old bones out of bed…makes it so that I’m painfully aware of my body.

Sorry…JK

I feel alive every single day. No matter if I’m sad or happy; in touch with nature/my kids/or God….

I can feel it the most when I’m outside in the sunshine and the wind is blowing. When I’m watching my kids play. When I have an “aha” moment with being able to figure something out at school. When I see kids have an “aha” moment. When I run. When I laugh. When I am able to walk to the mailbox or the park. When I wake up every day and see the sun and then see the sunset that same day. When I pray and Thank God for my family; and when I have my kids pray, too.

I also feel alive when I’m hurt or crying. When someone hurts my feelings. When someone blows me off. When someone just won’t listen to my opinions or tears or laughter or ideas. When someone I love is sick. When I go to a funeral.

am always feeling alive and when i get lost… i just look around, when i see the trees and feel the wind on my face and hear the sea crashing on the shores, i remember that i’m still alive, i remember that i’m living and that i should live happy.

I totally agree. Sometimes I lose sight of the wonderful things in life, (which most of the time are so simple). Like walking in the rain, or as you say listening to the ocean. It can be easy to lose sight of what is really important and beautiful.

yeah i know, we are humans :)… but try to keep in mind every time you forget, remind urself of the beauty that surrounds you.
