What makes you feel alive?

Someone asked me this question yesterday. I guess it is open to interpretation.

Answer #1

When i wake up, & i hear my mom & dad laughing while having breakfast, that’s what makes me feel alive, knowing that someday ill be in their shoes & ill have my own kids to deal with & share memories with. I guess its the future itself that motivates me & just feeling alive, just because you’re breathing doesnt mean you’re living, it means you exist, living is experiencing.

Answer #2

i definitly have to say my best friends. i always go to them for help, they make me smile even if i had the worst day, i talk to them about anything and i do the same for them. we know how each of us are and thats why we know how to make eachother feel good.

Answer #3

I am not sure I know what feeling alive is. Since we are all “alive”! I guess my point is when you you have lost so much in your life its hard to feel anything anymore. You question everything not just bcz you are insecure but bcz you just dont believe in it anymore. Love, what is that when you are constantly told that but the emotion is not there…its not real unconditional love, its phony…people say it so much its lost it’s value. Trust, what is trust when one can spend so much time building it, just to have it ripped up from your insides? Can you believe someone if they swear on their life or on yours yet lie, betray & break that sacred covenant? Hope, what kind of hope can you find when you already know how much most people are fake & full of hot hair not to mention empty promises whom wind up abandoning you after all of the above. Fear, for the only thing that seems to exist in us is the fear of trying it all over again just to get hurt like that all over again. Can one ever feel anything again other then anger, numb inside, hate, resentment, empty & pain? What emotions can one have left after knowing all of that? What can possibly change or help? writing..music…a career..a hobby? All that is awesome for a while…like a good convo with your best friends…but once that call has ended its back to feeling all that pain again. So…what makes me feel alive…knowing that I survived another day to prove that I am still among the living.
Call me names, make me feel worthless, try to break me, even take your best shot at hitting me…I may bleed & I may be flat on my back…but one thing you cant do is K!LL ME or B*RY ME ALIVE!

Answer #4

Friendship. Once you have a true friendship, one where you can be your real self and have trust in eachother, thats what makes me feel alive, just sharing the laughs with these people and making memories. Also love, once you have felt your first love, there is no going back, the butterflies, smiling like a fool over a text message and staying up late just so you can talk about pointless things, it all makes you feel like you are really living. Feeling alive is just waking up in the morning and thinking to yourself “ today will be a great day because i want it to be”.
