A toast to life – cheers!!
Posted by onefinelady on December 28, 2007
After spending a good night out with the girls I got thinking about the meaning of life. Is there a purpose to what we do, and how we go about our daily routines?
Life can be defined in many ways but the one main definition that stands out is:
“The property of plants and animals (ending at death) that enables them to use food, grow, reproduce, etc”
But is this the extent to what we have been reduced to? Is this what we are living for? What about the finer things that makes us unique when it comes to life?
As we go about our daily life we form unique friendship and special bonds to make ourselves known. We learn to make special bonds that pull us together to form a community. But most of all we have family. Family to me is the foremost and important key to anyone’s livelihoods.
Family is what makes us what we are, family is the key that helps and guides us through whatever life may throw at us.
Most of all after the last few months, my family have been the key stone to help me where I am now. After a tricky break with my ex-boyfriend, I couldn’t see a way forward. To me my world was misty and so thick with fog I couldn’t see my way through. After being confused, and not thinking straight, my family was there for me.
Despite all his short fallings, my ex and I had fun whilst it lasted. We shared many moments in which I will always cherish and memories were formed. But things were not to be, and this is not really the place to discuss his short fallings. I couldn’t see a way forward but now I almost have a rosy path painted in front of me. One thing missing-him. When you are together with someone you consider them your life. To me he was.
When I think of where I want to be in life, the answer is I do not physically know and am unable to put together a plan that will enable me to fulfil that query.
Life is what we make of it, it can be full of fun and then it could be full of depressive thoughts. The one thing keeping me going is the love shown to me by my family and also the support from friends. Without them I would be no one at the moment, I would be facing the world with uncertain doubt of what would come next.
So here’s to all my family and friends- a big cheers and a hearty hug!!
