What Is Life?

What is life? Is it the agglomeration of experiences and obstacles we face during the short time we're here on Earth? Is it the array of emotions felt as we get kicked down, but stand back up again? Is it our loved ones, those who would take a bullet for us and color our worlds in shades we weren't aware of? 
Life is everything. It's the coffee we drink in the morning. It's the proud moment when we are handed a college degree after four years of long nights of studying and crying. 
Each moment carries so much importance that we may never even notice. We encounter the situations that we are strong enough to handle. We endure the ups and downs of loving someone who doesn't love us back. 
The loneliest places may be the crowded hallways with smiling faces and roaring laughter. The most breathtaking moments may only be experienced after a considerable amount of pain and effort. The most influential people in our lives may be the ones who destroyed us.
Life happens every single day that we are breathing on this planet. Embrace each moment and utilize lessons learned. Rather than getting frustrated by the daily annoyances, smile at the mere thought that today, we woke up and get to live another day. We get to explore this grand world for just one more day and see what it all has to offer.
Never forget the small things that we often times fail to recognize and appreciate. In this ever-changing world filled with hate, anger, sadness, happiness, and joy; just live. Do what makes you happy and be who you truly are.
