  1. when I’m with you, i feel something new. I feel like everything is right in this cruel world. I’ve never done the things that I’ve done with you before. you make me feel alive. I have this eternal adrenaline with you. you came into my life and loved me.

  2. I thought i was going to die but my heart kept on beating, my lungs kept on filling themselves up with air and exhaling carbon dioxide. I dont remember how i got here, i just woke up in this horrible dark hole.

  3. alive, blood coursing,
    alive i see shapes
    colours, i dont see colours, i see sound
    i feel sound
    movement
    i see
    i see red
    flowing
    ebbing
    i see blood
    coursing away
    i want to stop it
    to hold on
    i want to stay
    alive

  4. Staying, praying, wishing, hoping –
    What does it mean to be?
    I think, but does that make me live,
    Active,
    Or only simply give
    An answer I hope there to be?
    You yet seem here beside me still;
    How can I clarify
    What means there are that I might be
    Long aft the day I die?

  5. I feel the most alive when I am with my daughter. Everything I do I think of her. I want to make sure I catch every smile and giggle. I want to make her happy more seconds than she is sad. I want to live my life as a better person, so she can see a good role model.

  6. I want to be alive in my life. The way it feels to be alive the day we first met each other and stepped out on a limb. I wanna be alive for the rest of my life, for just a minute, or a year. I want to talk in rhymes and stylize the way I feel about you and me and the future we won’t reach. I wanna take a walk on the wild side and see what it feels like to flirt with death, because at the end of the days that we’ve got, there’s nothing else like no life to prove when we’re really alive.

  7. I am alive. It is a great gift, life. However it is often abused and taken for granted. Life is a true miracle. It is pure and lovely. Alive.

  8. Today she was alive! After all the drama and chaos, she had made it. 13 years in total and now she was free to do as she pleased. She was alive! She felt alive – free from her burdens and worries and stresses. Taking a deep breath in, she happily rolled out of bed.

  9. “I feel alive today!” Amanda shouts as the train comes to a stop. Bouncing out she twirls around a lamp post and skips down the street. Everyone else is staring after her as if she’d just escaped from a crazy farm.

  10. It wasn’t until I joined the dead that I understood what it meant to be alive. And it’s so simple I’d kick myself if I still could.

  11. I am alive
    other things are alive
    every single thing that lives
    dies
    and lives
    to be alive is a philosophical outlook and a existential characteristic

  12. Human life, brain, movies, hate, love, animals, universe, death, my place in the diary of jane, sophie, family, my brother, bands I like, missing them, death, more death, watching my mother dying, killing my stepdad, trying too hard, fingers, typing, Doctor Who.

  13. freedom, finding a way to found to love others…

  14. who is, really?

    i’m certainly not.

    how to lift the fog of apathy and feel this?

    maybe tomorrow…

  15. Sing as you breathe,
    it’s the only way I know how.

  16. “Ah!” She sighed warmly, leaning over the hospital bed. Her look of sereness baffled the patient, but she didn’t care. She didn’t care that his memory was erased, or that he lost one of his eyes, or that he was temporarily mute; no, she was just glad that he was alive.

  17. we wished to be alive; we wanted to laugh and cry and scream and bitch and have something to laugh and fall out of love with.

    We wished and wished and then when it came we wished we hadn’t.

  18. I feel alive when I get to walk around Chicago and explore new things. Actually, not even Chicago but any new place that I haven’t been to before. My wife calls it being nosey but I’d call it being curious and adventurous. I think experiencing all of the little htings in life is what really keeps us alive. Where I feel constricted is this daily use of LIFE and my job. That’s why I want to go out and “Let’s be landlords!’

  19. Being alive is way more relative than it seems
    Being alive might not be something that only happens once,and continuously
    Alive,am I? Have I been before? And will I ever?

  20. Alive. It’s a weird thing to be alive in a world as crazy as this one. With the uppers and downers. Anti depressants and ritalin. Really what is it to be alive? To be completely un inhibited? To just live.

  21. I am so happy. I am free. Everything is going and I am moving with it. Mistakes are made. People change. But I am still here. I will always be. Until I am not. But that is a scary thought. Right now I will focus on emotions of feelings and being. I will achieve. I will dream.

  22. The birds.
    The trees.
    The thoughts in my head.
    All alive,
    spinning round and round.

  23. The blinds are closed tight. She is safe. She won’t part them. They might see. She stops breathing for a moment and listens. Scooters, police cars, kids playing. She gasps.

  24. to have no inhibitions. to be a soul within a body. to have the ability to do whateber you want because you are hte person who could do it. to do what you want with a body or encasement to do it in. it’s breathing in teh world and experiencing Earth/Universe for what it is. it’s finding what your soul needs in the short period of time that you can call yourself alive.

  25. I never thought I would feel like this. It was almost like every single piece of me had faded away into nothingness. My heart was dead. Though it continued to beat and blood continued to pump through veins, I still wasn’t alive. What’s alive anyway?

    by Quinn on 09.16.2012
  26. that’s what i am right now, thinking ,wanting,wishing. the best place everyone wants to be ,all day . it’s fun , good , happy !

  27. It’s hard to think about being not alive. It’s hard to imaging how could it be in the complete nothing, without that spike of life, that soul, that separates us from machines.

  28. She’s alive with vigor, with purpose, with life! Her arms pump at her sides, sliding smooth on smooth skin. Her breath pulls in, pushes out, pulls in, pushes out. She is one great bellows, stoking the fire of her own heart to a high blaze. She is filled with sparkling heat from top to toe. She jumps, leaps twists through the air, throwing herself at the world with abandon.

  29. My friend Meda found a turtle alive in his garden. That’s so amazing! Only fe people have the luck to find a creature like that alive in a city as contaminated as Guadalajara. I’m very happy for him and the turtle.

  30. I see the word alive. What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to truly live? I want to live each day to the fullest, I want to be alive everyday. I want to do something that I will remember. I want to talk about calm lobsters clicking their claws, and fall down laughing trying to roller blade with a friend..

  31. And Glenda was still alive, though not kicking. Everyone thought she had died in that cra crash in the south of Argentina, but she survived.

  32. i am alive. not really. i don’t feel alive. i feel dead inside. i feel at an unease. i am alive but i am not really living. people don’t understand. they say be happy you are alive. i am alive. and that is the reason i am unhappy.

  33. Alive was the last emotion she would use to describe how she felt. Depression had stalled her hole the day her daughter died. Breathing became a chore and living became a burden. What other choice did she have?

  34. I examined the remains of the skeleton. Its hard, stone-like texture contrasted with its aura of aliveness. What a statement on the nature of life was this pile of bones.

  35. I was seeing flashes. The last 5 minutes (or was it seconds?) were passing through my eyes, inside my mind.
    My lungs were throbbing and my heart was pounding badly. When I came back to the surface I had just swallowed a litre of water. But I was alive.
    Alive to tell the story, and that bullet-hole on my leg was the proof I needed.

  36. I can’t believe I am alive. Finally actually alive. Not in a test tube, or out in some ditch – buried under honeycombs and bat wings and the like – but out in the real world. I want to scream and shout and sing and laugh, but I can’t. The stares would push me away, I can’t be pushed away. Not when I’m still so alone.

  37. when i wake up i know i am alive. there are days where i don’t feel alive, i feel dead. being alive is weird when you thiink and think about it. alive is something i am grateful for d

  38. Living is the greatest thing out there. when you actually do the things that you want, everything is incedible. just because youre breathing, it doesnt mean that youre alive. being alive is when you are fearless. when you dont let anything stop you or get in your way. when you do what you want.

  39. It’s something I rarely feel. Sure I’m alive, but I don’t actually feel it. I’m the noun, not the verb. It’s something I see in his eyes. When I see him, I’m sure my eyes light up too. They’re alive. Something I rarely feel. Something I am.

  40. Not alive. Not alive at all. Not one bit. Not half a breath. No beat. No cellular division. No signals in the brain. That’s how not alive. As not alive as the dead donkey festering at he end of the road. As not alive as her great great grandmother.
