Alive and Living

Well here you are!
Alive and Living.
I’m not sure how you feel, but I hope you feel good.
Just take a deep breath for me.
You feel that?
You feel how your lungs fill up with air.
Do it again.
In… 
Out…
Now, do you feel that pounding in your chest?
Thud. 
Thud. 
Thud. 
That’s your heart.
 Pumping blood through your veins.
From your heart, down your back, around your ribs, to the very tips of your toes, your fingers, even your ears.
You feel it all?
Feel every body part.
Notice how you can see your nose sitting right there on your face.
Feel your cramped tongue, squished with spit inside your mouth.
Feel your clothes covering your skin and your hair sprouting from your scalp.
Yup.
It’s all there.
And it’s all you.
Pretty incredible huh?
You
Your pretty incredible.
And you’re the only you there will ever be.
So what are you going to do about it?
What are you going to do?
We already established that you have lungs, a heart, fingers, toes, a squishy tongue..
And that you are alive.
Remember that.
But more importantly, remember to live...
