What does being alive mean to you?

From what I experienced, ‘Being Alive’ means reaching out to the hearts of all the people who affect ours, accepting someone else, coming to like someone, telling someone you hate their guts, having fun being with a really good friend, even holding someone’s hand. Those prove we are alive. If we are always alone, how can we know if we even exist? I think the relationships we have with other people show that we are really alive in this world. My heart only exists because of the people in my life right now, my body only exists because of all the people who come in contact with it. Most people really don’t think about it, but life is filled with so much meaning. The reason we are alive is because of all the choices we made so far.
