“why am i alive?”

Another soul answered...

You are alive because of a series of completely insane circumstances. The fact you are here is an absolute miracle. But you are here and the fact that you are means that you can use your gifts and talents to make the world a better place for others

Your mother loved your father enough to create you, your grandparents loved each other enough to create them, and so it goes on. The simple answer is that you are born from an endless stream of love, that transcends time and space alike. The less simple answer is that this isn’t just love, it’s also choices. Each and every ancestor of ours made the choice to trust someone enough to allow them to be the person to continue our bloodlines. Each and every one of these choices led to your existence (the chance of YOU specifically being born is about one in 4 trillion, to be exact). All of that love, but also all of that trust was passed down to you. Do not see this as a burden but as an opportunity. YOU are now alive, you now have the ability to love someone with the love of a thousand people before you, and spread this love to every corner of the world if you so wish, be it in small things like smiling at the cashier, or thanking a bus driver, or simply loving yourself. Call it fate, destiny, or simply the will of our ancestors, but they have put their trust in the fact that their choices will allow you to live the best life you possibly can. Grasp this chance with both hands and try not to let go, but know that if you do, there will always be others with the love of a thousand people, who will be there to help you pick it up again.
