Living and Barely Breathing
Living a life as a stream of consciousness, living or letting live? I named my blog "Living and Barely Breathing" for two reasons. One of my biggest fears as I continue to live and breathe and think and rationalise is that I will inhabit a person's life and not live it. I will coexist, happily, in this misshapen world, surviving in my own capsule and unknowingly watch the one chance at the life I've been given, by who knows (a topic for another time?), continue to proceed without me. My biggest fear is to be a spectator of my own story. As an impulsive, hauntingly nerve-racking decision, I decided to start a blog. At 17 I know I'm still young and naive and have so much to learn from and about everything around me. The world we live in is so dense with knowledge it's pouring out of it's every pore and I think a neglect of information and education is a poor excuse for ignorance. I do firmly believe that the majority of essential lessons we learn, we learn by experiencing them and learning first hand. And so, I want to live a life where I have the opportunity to live and barely breathe, continually reminding myself to catch my breath because there are so many things out there that are not worth missing.
