I feel so alive? – LIFE AS A HUMAN

It’s been a while since I’ve submitted an article here, but life, ya know? I’m only human, like most of us are, and things can beat us down and get us to the verge of giving up. But one of the many things I think of during the hiatus is that life is short, and no guarantees are given.

Death and taxes…

Since the end of last year, it seemed to be endless. And thinking that beginning a new chapter in my life, things would be on an upswing… not so much. I did get married to my true soul mate, but then one thing after another.

A fire at my home, lost my job, 2 family members had strokes, various struggles, blah, blah, blah. It sucked, not going to lie. But still alive and kicking. My sanity and mental health took a hit, but I’m still hanging in there.

Life is so unpredictable, things happen, I have a full understanding of that, but what is it? Ego, stubbornness, ignorance. Us humans think life is supposed to go a certain way… it doesn’t. You can’t control everything. I’ve tried. Doesn’t work.

We can only control what we can control. The rest to chance. Deal with things as they come. Do we have any other choice? Our egos trick us. Maybe use our egos as a tool to get us to a point of control. What do I know. The struggle is real, the struggle continues.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable…

“Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”
~ Martin Luther King
