Survive

What is survival?

It's getting up in the morning and going for it. Whatever that IT is. Creating a website. Making a pancake breakfast. Jumping on the treadmill and blazing a sweaty run through the misty thoughts of your mind. Reading a chapter of the book you keep ignoring. What~ev~verrrr. IT may be.

So yeah, you've been blasted out of your reality by something. A breakup. Loss of job. Pet died. Loved one passed away. Favorite show got cancelled. Man, ya gotta moo-ve on. Swing those legs out from under the covers and plant the those feet on the floor.

Survival is knowing the day is yours.

It is the re-imagining of yourself. The reinventing of yourself. It is the discovery of yourself. Now that you lived through this, you're going to discover who you are. With feet planted on the floor, take a deep breath. Who are you? How do you make who you are better?

So, fuck-yeah, go make those pancakes. Go create that website. Go blazing on that treadmill. You're gonna make yourself and anyone and everyone close to you feel IT.

Survival is winning. Not whining.

Survival is fun. Redeeming. And gratifying.

Survival is life, for fuck's sake.
