Life.

Life. Such a small word yet meaning so much to everyone. We have always claimed to live a life but what does it really mean? There have been so many different ways of living a life but it is still summed up into one word...Life. So what does it mean to live a life?

Well, personally it means to be with family and friends and to treasure the times you have together. For others it may be satisfaction found in doing work, hobbies and religion. Sadly for many people, they live but do not have a life. For others they are out there looking for where they belong but can't seem to find it. For those of you who have, consider yourselves lucky, enjoy and treasure what you have well. Don't take it for granted for you never know when it would be gone. So live a life free from regret because while you drown yourself in self-pity, the world passes around you and you will miss out on life. One thought that I have always kept with me is, 'Money does not matter...What matters are the moments created together'. However, don't get me wrong, money is important in order for our to live our lives but it should not take precedent that you do not enjoy life. For what is the point of having money only to find that you can no longer use it? For as George Carlin said "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breaths away."
