From lyf to life

At a point we all want it, at a point we hate it.
There are days we cry about it. There are days we realize the importance of it.
We learn through it. We unlearn through it. We are taught about it. We teach it.
We see others doing it and wonder if we're doing it right. Then we think we're right and tell people how not to do it. We look at others who have done it right and think we will get there someday. We don't realize they haven't stopped doing it. We set standards, norms, preconceptions about how to do it. We think the way we do it is right. We find faults with others ways of doing it. No matter what, we can't stop doing it. We just cannot.

Everybody does it.
So have I.

From spelling it as lyf to Life.

Growing up. Everybody does it. And continues to do so.
