Existing vs. Living

This note is inspired by what my friend Urmi wrote about..

It is said that one should concentrate on living instead of simply existing...

I think I'm a very positive person

But I find it so easy to fall into the monotony of life

To start existing instead of living

Without even realizing it

One moment you're so happy...on top of the world!

The next moment...you ask yourself....what the f*** am I doing wth my life?

Is this what I signed up for?

Is this what I thought I would be doing six months later?

It bugs you. It irritates you...

But sooner or later, you resign to the fact

That whether anything can be done about it or not,

You're just going to accept...that your life is like this

And leave it at that.

It kinda sucks, doesnt it?

That this is what your life has become?

But you need to wake up and realize your dreams

It's the first day to the rest of your life!

And it's never coming back!

But sadly, every day just becomes a battle

To get out of the damn rat race

And start existing instead of living......

And thats where I find myself right now

I need some help....soon

Hmmm....I totally relate to your "existence theory" dude....the futility of the whole thing is sad...."Rat Race" - even if you win it, you are still a rat....
