Life

What the hell does it mean?

Does it mean to live your life to the fullest and expect nothing to get in your way?

Or does it mean to survive in the harsh environment you live in, whether it's home, or school, or even your own neighborhood?

Either way, I view it as a road.

Well, more like an international super highway of sorts, with many different paths and interlocking streets and bridges, some paths paved and well kept, others are dirt roads, unkept, full of obstacles and hazards.

Now, the reason I compare life to a road is because you can be riding along, either in a nice car or a truck or maybe a broken down piece of shit car that barely runs, but the path could be smooth at first. A couple bumps in the road but most people as a child may depend a parental figure to guide the way.

But when the time comes, usually around 15, 16, 17, maybe younger or older, when you have to take control of that car and drive your path of life.

You tend to hear, more and more nowadays, that people have depression or some kind of anxiety.

Now I'm not here to tell you that it was wrong to start diagnosing people left and right of these things or to tell you that you don’t have them cause you very well could and it works for you. But what I’m trying to say is that it’s not needed. You may have depression or anxiety or anything else you want to say to justify it, but it’s all a matter of choice.

Choice is the key factor here.

As I see it, and I could be completely wrong, life is full of choices that we make, which brings me back the the path of life.

So let’s say you crash your car or another way i like to put it is, you fell in a hole. It’s a huge hole that’s completely surrounded by dirt and it’s very deep.

What do you do?

That’s the question I want you to think about and answer by the end of this.

You have a couple options:

1.You can dig yourself out(usually meaning a lot of hard work, self motivation, and time)

2.You can sit there and hope somebody comes to find you(a little less effective but can sometimes work out in the end)

OR

3. You can dig deeper.

Now you're probably wondering, “Why would anyone dig deeper?”

Well, more people nowadays seem to be picking that option more than the others. Hence all the suicides, killings, overdosing, etc.

Most of the time, however, it doesn’t start at option 3. Usually it starts when people give up on options 1 and 2. Either they’re sick of waiting or done trying. Then the cutting starts and pills and all sorts of nasty shit you don’t want to get into.
