I feel like being human means, being able to learn and grow. You will most likely make mistakes, some you can fix, some not. You get to learn from them. Being human means you're able to feel, and love, and change. Being able to evolve into the best person you can be. Being human we get to make choices each and everyday. We get to help others, teach others, and learn from others. We all have different gifts and talents, that we share. Being human is a challenge. For most people on this website. A challenge that you can see as a bad thing or way to make you stronger. We get to be spiritual, and connect with a higher power if we so choose. We have power. The power to lift others up, or bring them down. Hopefully most choose to lift, not bring others down. We get to enjoy little things in life. We can change lives. A simple smile can be someone's hope to continue on another day instead of ending all their pain. I could go on and on haha, but this is just a small list of what I think it means to be human
