First, you live.
v. To live : to experience or enjoy life to the full.
The depth of each day may be gruelling sometimes, but rewarding many other times. The life we share with one another is the exhilarating part and although sometimes it's exhausting, in the end we choose between two options: We either deal with what we have, or whine about what we're missing.
Each promising day that I'm blessed to have sometimes shadows over me.. making me wish I never even awoken that morning. Sometimes the going gets really tough, and you just want to hide away in your obsure little corner - begging & wishing for it to all stop. You make a list - You know.. the one that makes you go "Never again" or "maybe this time" or even the "I swear on my soul that" lists. Those lists that either make you aware of your situation or make you go even further down that deep hole you've dug for yourself.
To live - even when Life doesn't seem worth living.
Then secondly, you learn.
v. to learn: to acquire knowledge or become informed.
The days go on, life goes on, and the world moves on with or without you. You learn to adapt, learn to accept, learn that maybe - just maybe - this time whatever you've acquired in the past few days, months, years will ultimately become something. Maybe this time, the knowledge that either is fresh in your head, or the pounding truth that kept shooting you in the face might actually trigger this time. You learn. You face the past, face your regrets and learn to forgive yourself andto forgive others. That's what it all comes down too right? Learning to cope, learning forgiveness, and ultimately learning the secret to happiness.
Then finally, you love.
v. to love: to love or have affection for.
After Living and Learning, all that left is to love. Not to be subjected to a person, but in general. To love your friends, your family, and of course - yourself. You love regardless of the risk or the hurt, hoping that you've learned from last time. You start to trust again, and start to fall again, and start to realize that nothing in this world can happen if no one loved or was loved. Jesus says it all the time. Come to think of it, I think every religion is based on this one concept. It's a universal concept, often sold out & overused but still never tainted. It's pure and it's worth the jump.
Live, Learn, Love.
It's hard.
It's scary.
It's worth it.
