Alive or Living?

This is a question a lot of people can't answer. Many people don't know who they are and they are just alive. Are you one of them? I'm living life and enjoying it. I know just who I am, it makes it easier to deal with what life will throw your way. One of the key's to life its to know thy self. Love yourself and work with what you have. No one is perfect and those who think they are have major issues. Being alive is just that your breathing and still here but not present. What are you doing in your life? What do you bring to those around you? Are you a positive person or a negative person? These are the questions you need to ask yourself. Are you happy? if not why not? You don't need a man or woman to define who you are. They just enhance what is already there. Its true love will change you and make you a better person if your loved right. Even if your loved wrong its still a lesson learned. Are you living or simply alive?
