Am I Existing Or Am I Living...?

This past couple of weeks (people I live with will disagree and say it's been longer than that!) has been such a roller coaster ride for me - emotionally. Thus, this random blog...

I was watching this movie the other night and one of the characters asked the other one, "Are you existing or are you living?" I thought it was a great line. Had me asking myself the same question ever since.

So am I existing or am I living?

I've always believed in being 'there' wherever you are. Be 'there' mentally and emotionally, not just physically. Carpe diem. Live in the moment. Savour every minute.

However, I've been questioning my existence lately. Whether I'm just being there/here physically. Am I living the life that I'm supposed to be living? Am I where I'm supposed to be? Am I living in the moment on a daily basis?

What IF, in my sometimes confused and analytical head, I'm thinking that this isn't where I want to be nor is this the life I want to live or supposed to live? What do you do then? Exist or live? Do you look ahead and think about the different consequences and ramifications that will come from changing things? What do you change? Yourself or your situation?

What if you will always ask yourself, "Am I existing or am I living?"; no matter what?

How about you? Are you existing or are you living?
