Its nine o'clock on a saturday

Life [lahyvz]
noun, plural lives.
-the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.

Is this life? Just the scientific biological processes that the body goes through internally?
Not human life. Not my life.
This is so much more, it has to be. What is it though?
I work on a definition daily and I think it's that feeling that rushes into your stomach and spills out in a smile or a laugh and reaches upward filling your world with its energy. This is my time to experience life in a new way, not just to live it.
So I cherish those nights that bring me closer to strangers and surprise me and give me hope in humanity. I will dance on pool tables and hold hands with a handsome boy because I can and I want to.
They surprised me, why didn't they just leave me to my mistakes? to suffer the consequences of my actions? Why do they care? Who am I that they would?
I still can't grasp it, the idea, its too overwhelming and too beautiful... it has to be fake, right?
