What’s a moment in your life that made you feel truly alive?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Well,
There are many moments that make me realise that I’m alive and theek are a reason that I have to continue this life…!
Some of them are bad—
Like going to someone’s funeral…
It made me realise the shortness of life and how we take it all for granted until it ceases to exist and we are left with sadness and pain that exists around us and it comes around to us in a circular path and we are travelling in the centre of it…!
Or something happy like—
Having your own child…!
The sudden feeling that a whole another human being is born who will carry your name forward, is a feeling that cannot be shaken and the very first time when you are handed your child into your arms it feels like they are something that you will protect forever and you will always be there for them;
And,
The feeling that you get from your significant other when you see them in a state in which they brought a life into this world makes you realise that no one is brave enough than them…!
Something adventurous like
Doing an adventure sport for the first time…!
You know how people travel in groups and even if we count people having their own adventures and exploring new aspects it’s somewhat of a win and unique experience for all of them…!
Imagine going river rafting…!
That was a unique experience and being a part of a group that has its own responsibility like maintaining the path of the boat and the goal of keeping each one of us alive is shared by all those who are onboard…!
When you witness something extraordinary…!
Like reaching your destiny when you are traveling somewhere after a lot of hardships…!
Or,
Waking up to witnessing your first sunrise after you have been dead tired while traveling to a find a homestay or even climbing a summit…!
Or,
Witnessing snowfall for the very first time…!
There are many a things that we can consider that makes us feel alive and to be honest the only thing that matters is how we perceive it…!
There might be many things that make us feel alive that one might not consider like—
Being loved without asking for it,
Or,
Finally letting emotions loose and crying your heart out after bottling everything for a while…!
Or,
Meeting someone you thought you never will and discussing how their life was before and how they are doing…!
Or,
Realising the fact that you survived a night or an incident in your life that you thought you wouldn’t but you still walked out fine….!
Maybe not on your legs but on all fours but you survived to see another day…!
Maybe the meaning of feeling that aliveness is just not doing something extraordinary,
But,
Maybe it’s just feeling the best in the moment and never wishing to be anywhere but in that situation maybe or maybe not surrounded by people who you love and care for…!
So feel alive,
For yourself and those around you all…!
Cheers 🥂
Happy long weekend to all of you and a message to all those who will be working hard;
