“Existing correctly”

Have you ever thought about simply existing? When all things fail, when the waves of defeat and despair crash upon you, the best you can do is to withstand it; to simply exist in defiance of all that wishes to erase you. Take revenge on those who wronged you by being better than them, living happier than them, laughing at them by bettering yourself so you can see how low they are compared to you. If you are powerless to do something, simply existing is good enough, simply being there for your friends or family: be the emotional support, be the bench-warmer, be the backliner, be the support beam propping up your team, be the foundation.

And to do it correctly. There are many definitions of correct, and sometimes the most ‘correct’ way to do something is to do your best, try your hardest. Other times it might be to venture into the unknown, be the person to discover. Doing something correctly depends on the circumstances that are affecting you right here and right now.

So, don’t we agree to all exist correctly?
