Existing or Living.
Existing is merely breathing and doing our daily chores. I personally feel that the biggest difference in living and existing is the amount of control you have on your life, on your emotions and on your decisions you make in life.
We find it easy in life to just do what we’re told never making decisions for ourselves. Some of us watched our mothers go through this growing up. Which that was the way to live in the era. They stood in the shadows wanting to speak up but always staying silent. Now is a new era where decisions are shared. We no longer have to stand in the shadows we can speak up and be heard.
Today is a different era we have options. We can go to college. We can have a career and still raise our children and manage our marriage. In today’s world we have stay at home dads who would of never thought that would happen. It’s not just mothers that raise their children alone in today’s world. It’s fathers, grandparents, and sad to say even foster homes. Is this because we were just Existing and not Living.
