Reasons to be alive

    Even though life is meaningless, I don't want to say we should all kill ourselves because of that. It's the opposite, actually!

    Why I am still here:
    • my family, my death would break their heart
    • if all the tolerant people killed themselves, the world would become even worse than it already is
    • I will die anyway, so why not try and make the best of it?
    • the little things, e.g. autumn, stories, adventures, learning new things, etc.
    • the possibility of being happy one day and enjoying life to the fullest
    • I don't want to give up, I'm way too stubborn

    Nice idea, btw, there are so many people who need this!

    Because I am fucking scared of death.


    Ironic if depression makes me wanna die but my depression is only there due to my fear of death....it's a good thing I guess..since it's pretty much a suicide failsafe.

    ...thinking positively: My friends and things that I can experience or goals that I can reach in the future.

    Although it's not something I often think about, whenever the thought comes up, the reason to why I keep going is of pure curiosity. Maybe life right now is bad, but I want to see what I'm capable of achieving.

    Reason to be alive - One day I will get it right. I am my own competitor. I can do better.

    big-scale reson: I truly believe that overall the world gets better with time rather than worse, if I had the choice to go live in the past I would emphatically refuse, the past would probably suck for me. However the closer to the present I look the better my chances seem. This makes me very hopeful for the future regardless of any dark patches messing up my pattern. I want to live through it and see what's on the other side.

    Small-scale reson: a video game I've been looking forward to looks like it's finally gonna get outta development hell soon, and sometimes that's enough

    I'm scared of death.
    Things have and will get better.
    The water here tastes good, and I dont want to give it up.
    The feel of slightly cold air, with a bit of wind, and without a coat.
    My freind, who is also the only person I have ever fully trusted. If I die, she migh commit suicide.
    The joy of creation.
    Movies to criticize.
    Decades to experience.
    Fall.
    Changing things for the better, and proving that corruption and ignorance don't always win.
    Art.
    Pleasure.
    Breaking things in ways never thought possible.
    Random nonsense that shouldn't happen, but does anyway.
    Good books.
    Good jokes.

    My cat. Well, its my little sister's cat but the cat's really close to me too. She's the most affectionate pet ever, so excited to see me when i get home every day.

    Life. Every time i'm on the edge, debating suicide, i come back to this one thing. I like living. Stupid stuff like watching youtube, having a great day at work, watching the next season of Game of Thrones, etc.

    Youtubers. And music. Please tell me someone else on here likes youtubers as much as I do. Youtubers and music have been my only support system for years.

    I kind of started achieving what I wanted (besides one thing). So maybe this is a reason to be alive.

    For youtubers, I'm totally in love with one. His name is Bio Sektor, he's an industrial dancer with incredible skills that are much beyond average human being. Seeing him dance always makes me happy.

    All those small, unique, and beautiful moments I won't witness if I'm not here.
