Alive - For Now

I stay alive on a day by day basis knowing that of the 365 days a year, one of them has my name on it, I just don't know which day.

Hence, I stay alive, at least for the moment, because it is not yet my time. But when that day happens, I won't be here any longer. My words may be here, but I will be gone and there is nothing that can change that. And there may be no one to tell you or anyone else that I am gone.

But why do I stay alive? That’s a question that can lean toward, “Why are you still alive?”

My answer is short and simple. I don’t know why I stay alive. I just am.
