Life, or something close to it.

I asked a few of my friends to define life their way. And it was good. Enjoy :

Well, in retrospect I suppose that life could be measured by the experiences that make us what we are. And I would say that we learn more from adversity as opposed to 'joyous' moments because that is when our mettle is tested most and those are the times that make us grow. And I suppose that 'growing' is an important part of life (in whatever way we do ).

its undefinable,its our reality and an illusion.........its complex yet simple.its there yet here.theres this word palimpsestic,i guess lifes like that......multilayered and you keep writing an rewriting your paths.......

life changes. i have been thinking hard myself too and i found out it keeps changing.it doesnt stay the same forever;you may agree with me or you may not,its your choice. life is what you are living right now.

life is stranger than fiction.. its an illusion we have .. we feel its der for us forever and we never know when and where it will leave us and all that mattered.. your i pod.. your favouraite t shirt.. your bank balance wil all be a thing which is non existent..

Its a lemon n cheese cake when chewed eyes closed and sensually, however if we dare to open eyes its youghurt and mayonaise on bread.

Life is bein alive....bein alive is an opportunity given to prove u bein actually alive..making a diffrence by existing.. lets u think and do what u want..dats al dat differentiates us with da non living ..da ones wit no life..me loves my life..me prays it doesnt end soon.

everything u do is life,,,happiness ,sorrow,,,each n every moment u live is life

life is a like you are in a dark and dense forest and you just have a candle in your hand. So you can only see within the range of that candle. Even if you want to plan everything ahead , you cannnot be sure of what gonna happen until you reaach it. ANd the goal is to get out of that forest.

an illusion of what is actually real..

life for me.. has been dwelling in the past .. wishing how i could ve done things better.. and the future how i want to do things...

life is music!! continue playing other's tones , till your own tune
is to be played!
