Revelation

On her Sixtieth birthday and after forty years of marriage, two sons and a daughter, she realized that she has been a mother but she has never really been a wife. She has been a human being but she has nver really been a woman. She has been living but she has never really had a life...

Missed your writings, dear :)

Just a small suggestion, I'd say "she had a life, but she has never really been living."

Ya Mayo. I intended to say that she has been living, like any living organism BUT she didn't have a life of her own. I always believe that there is a difference between living and having a life. Everyone around us is living for sure but how many people really have a life? Meaningful even only for themselves? That's my point :)

I wanted to reflect the very same meaning you have but I just have the opposite naming for it :) I think everyone has a life (a life of a mother, father...etc.) but are they truly living it? "Living" as in "feeling, experiencing and actually living and embracing every moment of it".

Yalla write more :)))
