i don't know if i could really tell you what its like to be human. i haven't known anything else, so i couldn't tell you what that's like. but i'll try.
being human is being afraid, falling and scraping your knees, getting frustrated and crying. it's realizing that you aren't alone-ever. but also being completely alone.
it's having internal struggles that never seem to end.
being human is being in pain, having medical emergencies, and being in situations that are less than ideal. some things you just can't control. try as you might, but maybe Someone Else has a better plan for you.
being human is that feeling of your stomach dropping. the fluttery feeling when you're uneasy about something but you don't know what it is. how you're antsy and just can't keep still. that's human.
human is having that gut determination to do something and never give up. being human is giving up too. it's realizing that you have three choices in life: to give up, give in, or give it all you've got.
human is the feeling of wanderlust-having a strong impulse to wander and travel, wishing to be somewhere you can never go.
"wishing to be somewhere you can never go."
