357 Entries for “alive”

  1. As I stared at the sight below me with the wind stinging at my cheeks and the pebbles at my feet gradually digging into my skin, one thought rebounded inside my head over and over again.
    I am alive.
    At this moment, at this point in time, the world is mine.
    I am alive.
    I can jump, right here and right now, towards the end of the world which leads to the mystery every man calls death.
    But at this moment,
    I am alive.

    Tee
  2. I wish I was, sometimes I am but sometimes I stray. Its more of a feeling than an actual thing. How does one become alive? I Believe it is by acting out ones life.
    Being an artwork and realizing it.

    Sebastian Wise
  3. Being alive.
    I don’t feel like many people even understand what it means to be alive. What it is to live. Everyone’s waiting. They are all waiting to be alive, to live. They don’t know what they want and they earnestly wait for someone to give them the answer.

  4. no greater gift.
    the most wasted gift.
    celebrate.
    enjoy.
    to the hilt.
    yes.

  5. “I feel so alive,” she said. Twirling around, with her dress that flared up into sixty or more colours, she skipped happily down the pavement.

    “It’s like everything’s finally been put into place, you know?” She stopped and stared up into the sky, squinting her eyes against the sun. As her eyes dropped to rest on him, a solemn figure cutting a gray silhouette into her kaleidoscope of rainbow shades, her smile faltered. He always had been able to see right through her.

    “It’s not perfect,” she admitted. “There are still days when…” she trailed off, biting her lip. Visibly shaking her head, she forced her smile back onto her face. “But I’m healing. I’m living. I’m alive.”

  6. Alive is right now. Alive is how we are. All we will ever be. Alive is the essence of humanity, of plants and animals and categories created. Alive is a state of mind, a philosophy, a blessing, a gift. I feel lucky to be alive.

    Louise
  7. I feel alive most when i am happy. Being alive isn’t just a state of being; it’s a state of mind.

    Claire
  8. It wasn’t until she left that I remembered what it was like to feel alive. To be 21. to be 16. To be free. I wanted to run and cry and feel and live. I wanted to rob a liquor store and drunk on champagne. But I’m 81. The best I could muster was a childish giggle and a sad grin.

  9. today i am alive
    with the beasts off my back
    alive with the fresh air stirring my blood
    and propelling me into the magical world i had forgotten
    i am alive and new

  10. You know, when I think about the word alive, I think about the world around me and how all of it is alive. Nature is teeming with life and beauty, and it is amazing. Unfortunately, the word “alive” inherently involves the word “death,” and evidence of each is what causes our world to be the way it is.

  11. She was still alive after everything, after the disappointment and downfalls, the excess and overexertion. She survived and vowed to fix things, to change. But this was real life, and things were rarely that easy, so it came as little surprise that she was back on the couch, contented, within a week.

  12. what is it to.. never mind i havent felt alive in days. i just dont know what it takes to get there. Id like to feel alive as i feel it connects to being happy as does every thing

  13. mountains in the alps of Switzerland, jumping out of a plane, The valley of the kings Egypt, back packing with my son on the great wall in China

  14. I feel alive today. the trees feel alive today. Alive is something when you have blood running through your veins and a fresh new outlook of the world. Alive is not sitting in a corner and watching tv but doing something more relevant with your precious life and working towards your goal.

  15. if i was alive
    i would never let you go
    if i was forever
    you would be alone
    i the truth was told
    you would never speak a word
    if i was alone
    you would be next to me

  16. Alive and dead. So simple yet so complex the feelings you give me I will curress. The tears I taste are bittersweet. Reminding me of a time when I called you mine. A time filled with harmonic medolic melodies that harmonized incredably. You are all I see and my mind races and your fingers left traces of these bittersweet memories. I knew what it was like to be alive when you stood by my side.

    Krissy
  17. i like to be alive. i hope i stay alive for a long time. I don’t really feel alive though. I wish my life was filled with more excitement.

  18. “This place is dead. Dead and awful. And you are too. A fake. An illusion.”
    So take you’re suede shoe, and try to leave. I hope you don’t find the other, that way, perhaps, you don’t get very far. Perhaps, you’ll turn back in the candy-colored rain, with your sodden left foot, and see me: leaning against the crooked porch door, slanting a smile, in my red dancing dress, waiting. And you’ll think, “She ain’t never look more alive than right now, right there.” You’ll take that to you grave. Now who’s dead?
    I’m dead but not gone.

  19. We walked toward the tall lights, stumbling down the steep steps to the basketball court. I don’t know what we were; I don’t know if I wanted to. I just knew it was late, and our time was limited in the streetlight. I felt alive, more so than I did in that cement cubicle where I spent most of my time. It was cold, but it didn’t matter. I only asked to live tonight, and nothing else.

  20. I feel alive when:
    play piano
    march the field show
    chat with Kyla, Vidal and sadie at the top of saddle
    hang out with spencer
    play marimba
    drive home at night with coldplay on

  21. What does it feel like to be truly alive? Somewhere down the road, whether conscious or unconscious, there is a choice between merely existing and living. It’s not circumstances, but actions and decisions that reflect the heart. What is the meaning of the rising sun? What could one more day mean? What is worth living for? What is worth dying for?

  22. The breath of a million cells
    Pulsing electric
    beating into the rhythm
    the rhythm carrying through
    bleeding into your words
    pulling at your mind
    and you shout
    shout to the void
    scream to let it know
    you are alive

    Ignacio Luna
  23. when i feel alive i feel as if im at a high or something. like nothing can bring me down or sad. I feel most alive when im outside and by myself. I felt the most alive whn im around nature or admiring something beautiful. life is something

  24. I am so alive.
    I can feel everything; the wind blowing through my hair, my toes curled on the wood floor, my arms flung out wide.
    I am unstoppable. I am free. I am wild.
    I am alive.

  25. muerto, mañana dia todos vamos quiero vivo, sueño pienso no lloro claro como dejo lo que no debo mañana hoy mañana todo el mundo debe sobrevivir sobre la vida… no se puede posponer la muerte de la vida no puedes hacerlo con dos dedos. Tienes que lograrlo.

  26. I feel my breath before I feel anything else. My chest, rising and falling as the air swims in and out and in and out. I’m hot, I’m so damn hot. I open my eyes. Where am I? What the hell? I fell asleep a fish!

    Em
  27. I am alive. I breathe, I feel, I think, I taste. Life is not about the moments you spend wanting, it’s about the moments you spend feeling unstoppable, intangible, and victorious. It’s standing at the top of the cliff face with your arms raised and your face to the sun, feeling pride in the simple thought, “I did it. I’m free.”

  28. dead death im sick im sad happiness gone tear cry high depression, mother cant you see me anymore.. I feel alone and never to be free again.. a life to live is it done what to say now.. hmmmm, my life is a lie and boring I wish I wasnt me.. i hate life why be alive

  32. Alive. What does it mean to be living, breathing, a being? It means to be part of something. The earth is alive with emotion and small particles that all work together to make something beautiful.

    Selby
  33. Crossing that finish line she couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt so alive. Six months? Twelve months? The emotions overwhelmed her as she thought of where she was, and how far she had come. It had to be almost two and a half years…before she had met him. Before he’d taken everything she had; before he’d beaten her down into nothing—no self-worth, no self-esteem…before the eating disorders, the alcoholism, and the smoking. She smiled, the tears brimming her tired eyes. Twenty-six point two. He said she would be nothing—that she was nothing. And, he was wrong. And, she knew that.

  34. Why am I alive? Why do I have this right? Does everyone have the right to be alive? It goes without saying, right? But it always seems to me that the right is not as freely given as I wish it to be. And I’ve been so reduced to apathy I barely feel so.

  35. I am alive. I breath, I eat, I drink. I also feel, I fear, I love. I regret. I am alive.

    Marianne
  36. What does it mean to be alive? To really be alive, and living each moment to its fullest potential. To me, being alive is living in the moment, and really taking it every great aspect of it. Relishing every moment for what it is, not what it’s not.

  37. im very blessed to be alive, no matter how many problems i have, no matter what happen in my life.

    im alive, so lets have fun

  39. today, i am alive.
    alive and breathing.
    everyday is a day of living, of discovering triumph, of making it through. and one day, life will be more than merely staying alive. it will be about tasting victory and living in freedom.
    but today, i am alive. i am here. and this is progress.
    alive.

  40. My daddy says I’m alive.

    Not in that I’m breathing. Not in that I eat, drink, or sleep. But because I am thirsty for life, hungry for adventure, because I love living and live every moment with undeniable enthusiasm. It was the best compliment I’ve ever received in my life.
