aliveness
State of living
Aliveness is the state or quality of being alive.
The word usually emphasizes vitality rather than mere biological function—a sense of energy, awareness, or engagement with life: There was an aliveness in her eyes I hadn't seen before.
Something can have aliveness even metaphorically: The city had an aliveness at night that the suburbs lacked.
