The importance of life
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Sam and I were having a really deep and interesting conversation about life and why/how we’re all here. We were giving our opinions on where we thought we’d go when we die and what we thought the point of life was. My theory is love. Everything is based on love. You don’t do something unless you like it, you don’t choose your partner unless you like them, you don’t marry someone unless you love them, you don’t study a career unless you enjoy it, you don’t spend thousands on a brand new car unless you love it.
To me, the point of life is to love everything you can, to appreciate everything you love and to enjoy everything and everyone that means something to you. I also think that the point of life varies to each individual. If someone is very career-minded and not so interested in having a family, the point of their life would be success. My opinion is that each person differs, nobody has to follow a set rule. So long as you’ve accomplished what you dreamed for when you die, I think you’ve lived life to the full - even if not the same way as the person next to you.
I was thinking about the things I find important in my life right now, based from a photography contest I started a while ago at VerityMB. I decided to take my own picture. The things I find most important, based on looking behind the picture and at the true meaning of each item. I’ll add an explanation below.

MOBILE PHONE. This is very important to me, keeping contact with friends and especially my mum. Communication is a big part of my life and not having anyone to call or just visit for a chat would ruin me.
MAGAZINES. I enjoy reading fashion and celebrity news, mainly to keep myself updated in the world but the other reason for the magazines is the fact that I absolutely love running this website with all my articles and news. I love writing and knowing that my articles can make a difference. This website is very important to me.
NOTEBOOK. So the writing pad is the same reaosn as above, though making the fact that I love to write and help others much more obvious.
MUSIC ALBUM. It didn’t really matter which album I put here. I love all music and it quite literally makes my world go round. My favourite songs are constantly in a loop of ever changing preferences and I couldn’t specify any one genre that I like best. Music is a huge part of my life and without it I’m not sure I’d cope so well.
PINK/RED. I used a lot of pink/red colours. Like the pen, music album, my phone. Romance and love is huge in my life. My boyfriend means the world to me, my mum - even more so! Without love, the world would be a ruined place. In my world, anyway.
MONEY. Of course everyone loves money. But in my life I’ve always struggled so hard with money, especially since I moved out at such a young age through no choice of my own. I’m still not financially stable and I won’t be for a long time, money has proved to be the devil to me but it’s still important. Without money I can’t eat, have a home, have a life. Without money I’d perish. It means a lot to me.
