Human

Who am I?
Think carefully before you answer 
For your answer determines your destiny 
There are no labels 
There are no levels 
Nature cares nothing about our rules. For nature is consistent. 
We all will live 
We all will die
There are no exceptions 

We will always live in a chaotic world full of heartbreak because we are chaotic complex creatures 

Adversity is inevitable 

Unbearable tragedies within our control, and out of our control wait behind every door
We will make mistakes. We will fail.

But we embody a quality worth celebrating. A trait that is priceless.  

Resiliency

We go through a beating from life and we get back up
We don’t give up easily
We persevere
By nature, you weren’t created to surrender
We keep going because we crave purpose
We keep going because the will to live is stronger than the desire to die..
