..some thoughts...

This is a evening I’d like to spend with someone special. As a matter of fact, there are some particular moments in life that makes you wonder about hard questions such as: who I am? What do I live for? Will I have a happy life? Where do I come from? Is there anyone out there that takes care of me? Why does pain exist?
Maybe I’m too young to understand everything, probably I’m too young even for questions like these, but when you try to see your life from an other point of view, you certainly find out something that you haven’t ever notice yet.
You are a person. It seems an obvious thought, but it isn’t so immediate. I mean, you are someone, you are a very important part of the world, you can do things, you can think, you can help other people, you can believe in something and you can fight for it.
Being a human being involves duties but also rights, sorrow but also joy, choices and mistakes, frustrations and deep satisfaction. It’s the spell of life, it’s amazing, and it’s difficult to explain how, but then you start to live in a more conscious way, you start to try to act if you were in the other people’s shoes…
I'm also thinking, for instance, of those that don't give the proper importance to their lives, and throw them away because of wrong choices. For example, people that are afraid of face the reality and hide behind addiction from drugs or alchool, trying to build up an alternative world where they don't really need to stand the real life, which seems too scary and hard. Or also people too selfish, that act without thinking to others, only concentrated on their life and their needs, don't understanding how much they hurt other people.
In my opinion, we must keep in mind that the fact that we are alive, that we are someone, it’s not as common as we use to think, instead it is a gift, a present that we have to preserve, to use well and to remember how incredible and precious is.
What do you think about it? Let me know your point of view :)
p.s.: this is the song that I'm listening to right now.. I'd like you to listen to it, if you want :)
