How to to live instead of exist by hazelwind

"At the age of sixteen, I have finally begun to live."

How I did it: You know, I can't really tell anyone exactly how to do this, but one thing is for sure.. As you might have read in other entries, it's a choice. If you are floating through life and nothing is interesting, and you think you're just wasting oxygen.. It is your decision to change that. Now, what you do about that is up to you. Me? I've become more outgoing, starting trying new things, fixed the relationships I've had with people.. It's all about change. You can't sit around and wait for New Year's or hope for the day when you can go skydiving. You can start right now. Smile at a stranger when you go to the grocery store, or stop ordering "the usual." Do something that terrifies you. Make your own happiness.

endorphin18 feeling awake....

it -is- all about change

I hear what you say about “floating through life”. You can start to numb yourself just to get through the day… Change is hard but so worth it in the end.
