a few years ago on of my cosins theatend to committ suicide. It really mad me think that some people dont care about anyone else, they want to be happy, and if they are not then they dont want to be here. it was then that i realized that everyones life is different and some people have very bad lives and that is very sad... it really opened my eyes to the fact we dont know what people around us are going through even though we might know them very well.

I have had many times where I have "realized life". Some good and some bad. I think the biggest time was probably when my mom passed away. It made me realize really how life can be and how quickly someone can be taken away from you. But I have also learned from a lot of what I went through and it really made me think and realize life.

I think I realized life when I was young. I realized life when I got in a car accident with my mom. It opened my eyes to so many other things that could possibly happen in my life.

i learned the value of life when some of my sisters and brother chose the path to miserable lifestyles that would haunt them. I learned that life is all about overcoming hardships and choosing a path to a better or worse lifestyle. I keep along the path of justice and peace for i know of what lies ahead.

I think that I realized life when, my grandmother passed away she was really my best friend and pretty much the only grandmother i had. I realized that life can take away people when u least expect it and that life is to short to old grudges.

I realized life in the last two years beging when something horrible happened to someone in my family and I lost them mentally and I almost lost them physically and then last year when I lost my grandfather and my only true friends, this might seem wrong but when I watched the life leave my grandfather and as i was holding my granfathers hand when he took his last breath i finally realized life and what it meant

I have "realized" life based on events some of them good and some of them bad. A lot has gone on in my life but all the events that have occurred made me realize life to love, cherish moments, don't take things for granted so many things. Where one event my dad got into an accident hitting somebody that was riding a bicycle I was wicked scared what would happen. But when everything turned out ok I realized life and how it can be.

1) what does it mean to realize life?
relizing life, doesn't just come up and hit a person on the head, it comes to you little by little, and a little bit more then that after something "life changing" really does happen.
my life changed after my parents split, i know doesn't seem like much. But i was daddys little girl, and after that i never see him, and he is really sick. After he told me that i couldn't have a my own bed because"he might have some kids some day." that changed my veiw on a lot of things.

My sister and I are really close but she lives in Connecticut so I don't get to see her often so when I do get to see her i realize how important she is to my life and that I need to be happy about the times that I do get to see her. Also, I know someone who has a hard time with life, they talk about things like suicide and most people wouldn't even know that this person has such a hard time if they met them. When I talk to them sometimes I try to remind them of the good things in their life which makes me think of the good things I have in my life.

Last November i had a friend commit suicide. He wrote a four page letter explaining why he did what he did. He was going through a lot of what im going through or have gone through. But when he died i realized the importance of life. And no matter how bad things might get, I will never make the same bad decision he did. Because I've realized life and i love life, as bad as it can be.

Rcently, I moved out of my mom's house and into my dad's. Now that I'm living with my dad, my mom basically wants nothing to do with me. so ya... that has kinda changed a few perspectives on life.

In my lifetime which has been a little over sixteen years, there have been very many family members that have passed away. It's hard to deal with at that moment, but it teaches you to be strong and try to enjoy the life you have. You only have one chance to do what you want.

I don't really know. Nothing bad has ever happened to me that makes me look differently on life. I guess the closest thing to realizing life is knowing that im a seninor next year and after that no more high school, no more of that secure life. I'll be on my own.

I have "realized life" a few times, I think the first time was last winter when i got in a car accident when i was driving with my sister and my best friend Brittany B. I realized how important life and other peoples lives were to me. I also have a friend who tried to committ suicide and it showed me that life can be hard but its always worth trying and getting through it. These things have made me realize life and opened up my eyes.

I think I really realized life when my mom passed away, I was little when it happened but it got tougher for me as I got older. I think it got tougher because I was really young when she died.

What has made me realize life?
This is my senior year, so a lot of things I am thinking back on of what I have done in my past years of school. I moved out of my moms house four years ago, due to struggles there. I realize now that when I moved out, I had kind of pushed my mom away. Now that it's my senior year and am 18 I have moved out of my dads house also. My mom and I talk a lot more, and we are becoming closer. I talk to her almost everyday which means a lot to me, because what would I do if I lost my mom with the grudges I had on my chest until now? I have realize that family is important and pushing them away will hurt yourself in the end.
