To Be Human

To be human is to love, 
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up

Just 'cause I predicted this
Doesn't make it any easier to live with
And what's the point of knowing it if you can't change it?

I was listening to To Be Human by Sia and I reflected on the words that speak to me. "To be human is to love, even when it gets too much" are words I deeply relate to and, I, too, am not ready to give up.

"Just 'cause I predicted this
Doesn't make it any easier to live with
And what's the point of knowing it if you can't change it?"
These words remind me that I knew that choosing surgery to resolve my epilepsy would bring me a journey of great changes. What is the point of knowing and not being able to change it? In my opinion, to appreciate the growth. I may have been scared before it happened but now I am grateful for the experience. I would not know without experience, a prediction is a story we make without knowing. The experience is the chance to honor being alive and all the gifts Life offers. To continue on is to love, the essence of Life.
