What is Life?

What is a life? There are many definitions, but one of Merriam-Websters's is "the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional plant or animal from a dead body." Pretty self explanatory right? Not really. Life is more than breathing in and out, heart pumping, blood flowing, eating, sleeping, staying vital; it is so much more than that. Life has no real concrete definition. Each human, plant, and animal has a life, and each one is very unique.

That is why this is called pieces of a life, because no life can be fully explained in the written word or even by the function of our brain. There is more that we will never be able to process fully and comprehend whether we are 5 or 50 years old. Life is big mystery and trying to understand it is wasting the precious time we have, so instead of explaining it let us just share what he have experienced? Scary concept right? Sharing life experiences? What is that is just one way of how we live! We were made to share, laugh, cry, talk to our peers. You can say it is our programming.

Some pieces might be scary or sad, some might be happy or crazy, but in the end they are pieces of how we live. No matter who we are or the circumstances we are in we need to respect those pieces people share. That is what I am going to do here and if you want to join me good for you! It is a challenge and a great one in that.

What is great about expressing life is it isn't just words on a page! It is pictures, music, poems, artwork, etc! You never know what inspiration is going to be used to show those pieces of life! Use your expressive nature and if you have something you want me to write about or post here email me and I will work it out for you the best I can
