What Makes You Come Alive?


I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think long and hard about this question. However, thinking about it now, I realize that I have definitely been over-thinking it. What makes me come alive? There are many things that makes me come alive, the main one being faith. Having faith in God is the only thing that keeps me going in life; it is what lets me know that life is real. Every day, there are bad things that happen, but getting through those things is a lot easier with God. There are some days in this world where I feel completely numb and worthless, but it is God that brings me hope; He is the reason that I am alive. I have mentioned in one of my blogs before that faith is what saved me and I wasn't exaggerating. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. My faith is my motivation in life. When everyone else walks out of my life, God doesn’t and He never will. His love for me is unconditional, just as my love for Him is.

Music also makes me come alive; it is my passion. I love when I listen to a song and it explains exactly how I feel.  It doesn’t matter if I’m happy, upset or even just giggly… there’s always a song for it. It’s amazing to me how one song can sum up the way that I’m feeling. When I am feeling at my most vulnerable, I turn to music. It expresses my feelings in a way that nothing else can; it’s my release from all the troubles of life.

Another thing that makes me come alive is seeing others happy. There is nothing that I love more than seeing other people happy, especially my loved ones. Not only that, but I love making people happy. I don’t care how unhappy I am because seeing others joyful is enough for me. Just seeing two people happy together in a grocery store pleases me; it’s the small things that I enjoy. I love the smile that my one and a half year old cousin gives me when I chase her around the living room and I love seeing how happy my Grandma is when all of our family is together. Moments like that are what I live for. They make life worth living.
