Life What does it mean to you?

Life what do you want from it?
I always felt that my life
My whole reason for being
Was to do what others wanted me to do
I had given up on having my own desires met
I allowed myself to develop self pity
I pondered the above question
Then I learnt yes life is difficult,
It is meant to be an adventure
Having challenges and enjoyment
Challenges help growth
What we do with them is our choice
So I have chosen to live.
