I agree with this.
Surviving is forcing yourself out of bed in the morning, but dreading another day.
Doing things that you have to with no pleasure, etc. Not finding the beauty in life.
Living is getting out of bed with excitement for the day ahead. Being able to find pleasure and enjoyment in the day. Being glad you are alive.
Thanks for this!
