What it means to live

What does it mean to live?
What does it mean to be alive?
Does any of this stuff we have matter if we can’t share it with the people we love? 
We only get one life
What life do you imagine of?
A big house is nice but does it feel like home to you?
A successful career is what we all want 
How much money will cure the loneliness you feel?
Will it cure the emptiness you have within yourself?
We worry about the wrong things at times
We appreciate some things when it’s too late sometimes 
I’m seeing relationships crumble because of shallow things in front of my own eyes
Is it worth losing the love of your life over foolish things?
What does it mean to live?
Is it the important things to you?
Is it only what life has to offer you?
We only get this one life
Find what you truly want for you in this life
