Being alive, taking up space in this world is not living.
Living, having real life is vulnerability. It's taking of the mask, relinquishing the sarcasm and defenses and letting whatever wants to enter, enter.
Living is lowering a defense. It's not only knowing you aren't always right, but allowing yourself to be wrong.
Living is compassion. It's knowing you do not have to be there for others, but you chose to anyway. You chose to sacrifice of yourself to bring help, to bring joy.
Living is steeping down from a pedestal and allowing others to see you. Vulnerability, insecurities, scars and all. Living is not hiding who you are under a crafted facade.
Living is knowing that an ego is the worst thing to have. That your space in this world is not greater than any others.
Living is being free. Living is openness. Having true life means stripping all those preconceived notions and being able to free yourself of the burden of tomorrow. Living is knowing that today is what is promised, that today is not even promised.
Living is knowing that tomorrow will occur, but tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Living is peace that if you were to die today, you had life; You were not merely alive.
