A life not yet told

By Jennifer O'Connell
F, from Cork, Ireland
View Author Profile

Ever just feel that your life just, isn't yours?
That you were brought into the world at the wrong time or that you were even just born in the wrong place? Life passes you by while you sit and wait for that little something to happen, which you feel will change your life forever, simply because you know that you were destined for bigger things. My name is Silver and that right there, is how I feel every damn day of my life.

But what if, what if this "life" you're living wasn't actually your life at all? What if it was like some kind of test, not even a test of life but more so a test of yourself? What if this "life" wasn't really a life at all but that it was actually a "life in training", a "pre life" even, to test yourself as a human being to see if you are actually capable of surviving your "real life", and if you weren't, then you didn't get to live at all. Maybe I'm crazy, but then again, maybe that's exactly what it takes to pass the test, to, think outside the box, that's what we're in, isn't it?
