What Is Real

 Do you ever wonder if everything is real? When you die, do you expect someone to take off the VR headset and ask " How was it?" We all have those moments in life where we ask ourselves " Is this even real?" We all have those moments when we reflect on what we have done, what we are doing, and what is in store for us later down the road. We lose track of time because of these countless reflections and feel the fires get cold. We have thoughts like " Do I realize that as I get older,  I see my family age too?'' or " Are we meant to make money or give glory?'' All of our moments are different, and we express them in countless ways. You could be getting ready for work at three AM and in the shower when you ask yourself " What is life?" Most people come up with ridiculous responses, such as to be famous or to die instantly. I tell you now, there is no clear answer. Pick whichever answer works best for you. You could be waking up and it is still pitch black outside. You see a functioning and bright world, drowned out by complete darkness and motionlessness. Perhaps time has stopped for eternity. Our eyes cannot adjust to the black world outside as if we had gone blind. It could be 11 at night, and you are out walking in the black abyss in the pouring rain as only nightclubs and hotels are still open. You walk past each light filled club and nothing feels real. You can have your own answers to this, with the only question being "What is real and what is not?" You can be a pixel in a digital world, just one speck of specimen in an experiment with 7.6 billion other objects, or you can be your own person, revolutionizing the way people perceive you and society. There is no way to tell what is real and what is not.
