Response to the Daily Prompt: Realize

Reality sucks. You read it right. A friend I love and I call it the “R” word. Just about the time everything seems to be going fine, you receive a text, a phone call, an e-mail, or listen to the nightly news, or early morning weather report. All of these real things can ruin a perfectly good day. Okay, so where do we go from here? Whoever said “life sucks, and then you die” must have had a very bad reality check. But you are alive, that should count for something, right? You can be mentally ill, physically handicapped, short, tall, thin, fat, but you’re still here, you’re still breathing. The fact that you are still able to be sad, happy, love, hate, that’s what counts. You can still contribute to your own life, make your own decisions. This is when you realize, your life is important.
