What is life?
This question is what we commonly encounter in our daily living, asked by our teachers in our school, or maybe asked by the judges in a pageant competition. Though we answered it always, we still don't know its exact answer. Is it just simply breathing? A gift given by our Creator? Or waking up everyday? Or is it as deep as finding our purpose? Whatever it is, one thing is for sure. Life is complicated.
We all have our different meanings of life. Some says that life is full of surprises. It is because we will never know what will happen in the future. While others says that life is unfair. Maybe because we are not given the same opportunities as others. We lived and believed with our own definition of life. As of me, I don't have my exact definition of life. To be honest, I don't even want to bother myself in finding about its meaning. All I want to do is appreciate the things that it will do to me. Even though it is complicated, or sometimes gives us challenges that would question our worth, I just let it be.
Life is associated with living. Living for me isn't just simply breathing. Living is like fighting in a battlefield. We do what it takes to win. We do what it takes to live. I know some would agree and some wouldn't. Aren't we living to fight for our life? And aren't we doing whatever it takes to live? All of us are fighters. It's just that some chose to take the wrong side in the battlefield. And we can't blame them, can't we? Because it is what they thought is the way for them to live. Because not all of us are lucky to have the access for weapons in our fight for life. And not all of us are lucky to survive. It takes a strong will and a strong heart and not all of us possess that.
Some live for themselves while some live for others. Either way, they are living and I think that's what is important. That we have a reason to live. Appreciate life before it will be taken away from you. I know that throughout our journey of life, we encountered the good and the bad side of it but then we wouldn't learn if it's all just good things, right? As they say, we learn from our mistakes. Failure isn't just failing. It is also learning. It teaches us something and it contributed to our being.

You might not know your purpose now, but you will soon. Just keep on living and you will find it along the way. Just don't give up my little fighter.
