I'm happy to be alive

I'm fine now, yui.

Once I was well enough to think, that incident did wonders for my perception.
 
In the last few years I have learned to love being alive. I went from being suicidal to just not caring if I lived or died, and now I have come all the way around. It was a hard process and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but the close calls I have had with death made me more conscious of how great life can be. I don't fear death, and when it's my time I'll go knowing that I got something out of my life.
 
I am glad to be alive more than ever in my life. Often I wake up and smile first thing, that I did wake up (then usually hit the snooze button).

I remember some time ago thinking I was glad to be alive at the same time as Rudolf Nureyev.

I've been walking the same two blocks to/from my bus stop every work day for over 12 years and watched magnolias bloom, school kids grow up, and turning leaves fall to the sidewalk. It never gets dull.

I'm glad you're alive too, SnP, and all of you here.

Perdita

Most folks believe it's better than the alternative. How they know, though, is anyone's guess.

I mean, hell (no pun intended), they're not clamoring to come back to life, are they? Maybe it's cool and fun there, and they intentionally instill fear of death into the living to Bogart more of the afterlife fun for themselves. :rolleyes:

==========================

And maybe it's so much fun, we did come back -- en masse. :D
