Life...What is it?
Is it the things we cant explain?
What is it?
Is it a simple name?
What is it?
What about a game?
What is it?


I can't explain the life of lives or one person to the next. They all differ- im aware. Im aware its not all the same. Im aware its probably not a game. Im aware its not one name.....never can it be summarized. but i guarantee its all a life. All one perfect - ONE - perfect moment one perfect hour-minute-second- not even but less than a second. But for that moment we are happy-speechless-great-vivid- ANYTHING that represents our happiness


What is life?

I thought about this one day when i realized how much of my life has already gone by. With everything that went with it. I knew one day i needed to let my mind loose. Today was it (:
