Many things in life give life its meaning. The birds that sing calming melodies that wake you up. The sweet smell of chocolate milk that warms your nose. The beautiful blue and clear sky that enlightens your visions. These are all the little things that give life its meaning.

Not everyone would say the same though. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Whatever makes people happy, tick or just plain neutral, impacts our lives more than we know or accept. What more can I say? Whatever impacts us leave an impression that gives life its color. The horror movies that give us fear. The roller coasters that give us excitement. The breakups that gives us resentment.

The people that we meet and talk to. The people we argue, cry and laugh with.They all add color in our dull lives. They are like the salt in our food. Our relationships with others make life worthwhile. The fact that life is so unpredictable leaves us all living for more. The unpredictability of events and everything else makes us want to see until the end. Whether the outcome is bad or good, it'll always leave an impression in our hearts, if not then for a moment at least.

The day we get a praise. The day we get an award. The day we get confessed to by the person we like. The day we finish something we hate. The day we get our wish come true. These events are all what make life joyful and happy.

The day we lose someone close to us. The day we fail something. The day we have to get a debt. The day we get sick. These events are all what make life awful or sad.

The dreams and wishes that we make daily. The dreams that we work hard for. The wishes that we pray for. They are the goals that we created and at the end we all get to face success or failure that will impact our views on life.

Is there a clear answer to what give life its meaning? Of course not. It all up to their interpretation of what they want. Different things weighs differently in other peoples hearts. What you want and what others want is different. It doesn't mean they're any less important though, it just doesn't weigh as much. It's just that the impressions and impacts will never affect them enough to place any  meaning in their lives.

Everything in life gives life its meaning. Whether its something incredible or something small and insignificant. Whether it makes us smile or cry. Life is only as good as the events that we face each day. It's not a life if we don't get to experience the pain and joy as we grow up.
