Life. We all have it. We all live it. We are all breathing, heart beating, seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling - or at least some of the above to some degree.
Fragile. Breakable. Short, Fleeting.
Life doesn't last. I've often heard the humor in the phrase "The most terminal illness is life because we are all going to die from it anyways," or something similar to that.
What is your quality of life? Seeing a family come together to prepare for the final goodbyes to someone they may or may not have been close with recently is eye opening and heart breaking. We never know when we will die. Some people are faced with a terminal illness and sent home to die. They still know not the hour of their death, but they can start to prepare for the final goodbyes. We all don't have that.
What is my quality of life? I love deeply but often I feel I fail to express that love. Sometimes I express it in such deep and meaningful ways in my eyes but I don't know if it is received that way. Sometimes I hold back. Sometimes I don't pour out every ounce of my love towards certain people due to how it had been received in the past; or only showing that deep love in a certain way because I feel I have to live up to certain expectations of how they think I should express love.
Regardless. Regardless of all that, I choose love. I choose to love deeply and extravagantly. I choose to not hold back love. I choose to walk in the Spirit and allow God to move within me and guide me. I choose that.
I want to leave a legacy. I want to leave a platform for future generations to build upon. I want that.
