"Living is such a privilege?"

I hear it a lot.

And, it is.

kind of.

Living is truly a dream, when

you’re with your best friends, and you’re living such a meaningful moment that you start to miss before it even ends.

or when you get a good grade on something you worked hard for, everything you did was worth it.

But the world doesn’t work like that.

Of course; why would it?

What would you do when you watch your best friends slowly drift away, or when you know you’ll never get to see them again.

Or when

you’ve tried and tried and tried again, but you keep failing. you’re not enough, no matter how hard you’ll try.

This can and will destroy you.

But remember,

the world doesn’t end when you fail a test, or get a bad grade.

And remember that the benefits of living really do outweigh the benefits of not.

So,

don’t give up.

though life may not always be a dream,

it’s still worth living for—especially the moments which still feel like a dream.
