Continuing the discussion from Where does it all come from?:
Yes… I’m glad to be alive.
There was a time I wasn’t.
But the way things have turned out… I’m comfortable with my life and glad I’m here.

Great me too.
Now there have been times I was commanded to die.
And that I thought my life was over at 18.
But I live to spite ‘those who would have me dead’
so I win, they lose…

I wish I was a better writer to put this in words a lot better. But perhaps trying to see this from the outside in would also help. I’m not happy I was born.mainly as I’m still suffering from the grief of a friend from suicide. Although there is so much pain still. I’m glad I got to know her even for a short time. If she was never born I never would’ve known how much she did mean to me. The growth of myself in understanding love. My own past relationships, my current relationships.What I’m trying to achieve now in my own my relationships. Growth itself is priceless because each human life is priceless. Growth is what each of us is what we are trying to pass on. Perhaps that is what life is.

Personally, I think the jury is still out on my life. Time will tell if I led a misbegotten existence, or if I made a contribution during my time.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Suicide is for cowards, it only hurts those left behind.
So I tell myself that too.
A friend from high school lost her husband to brain cancer a few years ago.
Now I hear from my Mom, she lost her son and I just can’t imagine that and it
is screwing me up this week as I just can’t fathom the thought of losing a child.
Hardest thing a parent has to face is out living their child.
Warning skip if you are atheist…
God is happy we are alive because He created us.
We may not find out until the end what our purpose was, but I’m sure that the creator of the universe put us on our little spot of the planet for a reason that we’ll find out and see, wasn’t that a great idea?
I never feel happy, but I’m glad I have my life to live. There are positive things and it’s kind of like a 3-d puzzle - challenging and a little fun to work - though frustrating.
