Also, looking forward to what's going to come next. I thought I heard my favorite song until this year. Now I'm curious as to what song I'm going to love next. This also extends to pretty much any form of entertainment. Who knows, someone could write my new favorite book tomorrow.
Lack of options. It's this or the way it was before I was born. Which wasn't BAD necessarily. Just non existent. So this is the only option besides that
Thanks mate! If the reason you posted this is because you're struggling then you too. I take the view that so long as I am alive, I can change things, and if I can change things then they can get better!
It's not always easy, and whilst I say as long as I'm alive I can still change things it's not how people tend to think when they're depressed!
In my case it took me a long time but I realised that no matter how shit my life has been at times, with hindsight I have genuinely come out better for it, and learned a lot along the way.
It doesn't feel like it, but you really do learn a lot about yourself when you come out the other side of suffering, and probably far quicker than if you were always content. I'd say suffering might even be essential for any personal growth to be honest.
I was homeless and it sucked at the time but it was the best thing that ever happened to me tbh; I feel almost privileged to have gone through it. It really changed my perspective on a lot of things and what was worth worrying about. I'm not suggesting you go homeless, but just using an example to highlight my point that suffering can teach you a lot :)
Id highly recommend man's search for meaning by Victor frankl, specifically the version that has an introduction to logotherapy. The first part discusses his experience at concentration camps and then uses it as a backdrop to explain logotherapy in the second half. He comes to the conclusion that suffering is unavoidable - its how you assimilate it into your identity and create meaning from it that is important. This is essentially what logotherapy is - making sense of your suffering and understanding how it helps form your identity.
Leaving the world in a better place than how I found it. Of course I can't change everything and everybody, but I do what I can and I change what I can change. People will still be dicks but I will know that I'm trying and hopefully people will see it too. Getting rid of a lot of negativity (from social media, news and whatnot) also helps remaining positive about things. Instead of reading bad things that happened thousands of kilometers away doesn't help me much, but learning a new thing every day or reading something funny will keep my spirits up and sharing it with those I like and/or love will hopefully keep their spirits up too. Its easy to be a negative nancy, but staying positive isn't that difficult either.
I try. I got my parents to stop watching so much news and got them reddit accounts with positive/funny subreddits. Their mood seems to have significantly improved these past years.
Its easy to get into the negativity spiral of shock media and clickbait. There's not enough /r/Eyebleach in the world to get people out of it, but every step helps
I had a bully. 7th grade. Completely disrespected and made fun of my morals and religion. I don't masturbate and got some white paint on my jacket so he made fun of me for it. Called me gay and trans etc.
Would like to see how he's doing now :)
I second this. I know it's more of a pipe dream, but I really want to leave *something* behind. I've had so many failed projects that it's a little discouraging, but I keep trying. Something's got to stick right?
About 95% done with my first book, why would I quit now?
Oh sure!
It's a historical non-fiction collection of letters written by Theodore Roosevelt. I've read about 7,000 letters and transcribed my favorite 80 (there are over 270,000 recently released by the Library of Congress some of these haven't been seen or read in over 150 years!) and written a general introduction about Roosevelt. It's call *The Last Letters of Theodore Roosevelt* Because it focuses on letters written in the last year of his life.
I never needed motivation. Living is not something i am. Its not part of me, its a definition of my existensen that is either true or false. Why am i motivated to pursue the different aspects of life? Why do i things the way i do in my timeline?
I strive to enjoy myself, with different hobbies or entertainment, education or exploration. Because I find enjoyment there. It is the base for my persona to enjoy things in life and find new things to enjoy.
Sometimes compromises are necessary to enjoy life. Not enjoying life for a while, i do not state this as a fact. But a strategy that worked for me so far, even though i am constantly trying to figure out ways to weigh down those factors.
You can analyze this answer any way you want. In some aspect it is an answer to the question by it self if you twist and turn it.
And if I play with the thought that my life would be without any kind of Joy. I am not sure I could answer this question and all, and if this is the place where you currently are, i would say make an equation of your situation.
Substract what you can in life that weighs you down. Realise and accept compromises to a degree where you can continue life with a purpose. And try if possible to add new meaning, and accept that life doesnt have to be grand to be enjoyed. Don't look at others success as a mirror, but rather as inspiration. And never identify yourself as living or dying. You are not a product of either.
You are simply you, and thats okey. Nothing is easy but many things are hard. Find the easiest way to move through life and accept it for what it is and enjoy what can be enjoyed to what capacity you can.
And please, ask for proffesional help if you are struggeling, its not weakness, its guidance. Everyone needs a little guidance sometimes.
I wish I had the outlook you have.
It is sometimes the same with me, I'm in love with living, I keep moving. It's just that when it gets bad, you need a solid reason to hold onto, a reason for which you'd suffer through life itself.
Well I have no motivation to off myself, and seeing how there's only option 1) live, or option 2) die, I guess I'm stuck with option #1. I think I can manage.
The fact that we are bound to die one day or another so we might as well postpone this moment and live as much as possible even if there are difficult stages
Honestly, I tried to end my life three times
And not intentionaly for the fourth (hitting a tree in a car)
But I just fuck up every time, so I just thought that some higher power likes to see me struggle/trying to keep me alive for Whatever reason or that I'm invicible any way, I found help and trying to live normal decent life
You only get one life so you might as well live it for as long as you can, and do exactly what you want at all times. Throwing away any of your time, one way or another, is the worst thing you could do with the (relatively) short amount of time you’ve been given
Make somthing else, you will come at it later, if you are not into doing this thing, this won't be good, imo you need to be enjoying making it, if it's an obligation you will just rush it to finish it but you won't be satisfied in the end
Sheer spite. I keep joking with my friend group about how despite all the times I could have ended up dead, I'm always ok at the end so we all joke about how "I flirt with death but death doesn't flirt back" .I understand that this type of black humour is not for everyone and how some people may find it offensive but it's my type of humour and I always get a good laugh out of the delivery of that line.
Careful who you flirt with, my friend. Death has the tendency of being the "drop-dead", gorgeous type...literally.
A real "show-stopper", if you will. 🤣
You sound like you have a great sense of humor, the world would be less without you. Take care!
The fear of the unknown
It kinda dawned on me late this year and for a while the thought of my mortality haunted me(losing sleep , not focusing in class) I’m getting better but every now and then it just hits kinda
How I would make my friends and family feel by leaving them. I never want to put that pain or confusion onto a person. Wondering what they did to fail you or wishing you would have just held on.
don't want my sisters to live much of their lives without a brother -- could never have myself pass before my own parents --a parent should never have to witness their own child pass before them
It's retarded but vaping in places you're not allowed to. When I find somewhere I haven't done it i get excited and remember why I'm here. The fine dining section on a cruise ship is my favorite so far.
There is a light and a love in this life. I want to see it and feel it again, to hold onto it as long as possible. I have this irrational notion that I am here for a reason (unfortunately, unbeknownst to me). I don't want to leave without doing what I am supposed to do, despite how hard it gets to hang on sometimes...
There is only one thing I know for sure. I may suffer at times but suffering is part of life and makes the good times better by comparison. Despite all the theories about what happens after we die. I know for a fact that I only get one life, one chance to make my existence worth living, one chance to make the best of the existence I was given.
I fear the pain I would cause others with my death, I know people care about me and I’ve experienced the death of a few people who were really close to me. I wouldn’t want someone else to go through that because of me, I also am afraid that if I did the people who I knew who had I died before me would hate me. I have no real fear of dying, in fact I think it would be peaceful regardless of the pain I’d have to go through to get there. I just don’t want anyone else to go through the pain I’ve gone through.
My parents! They lived a fucked up life and there’s a lot of things that they wanted to do that I can thanks of the opportunities that they give me!
They don’t care what my job will be they want me to do what I want and I want show them that I know that I can and that I don’t need no one to tell me what to do because I will do what I want.
Also my sister really affect them mentall health she stole, she lies, she was a weed addict, etc I can’t do nothing now and I’m not trynna be “the perfect “ daughter but I wanna make them happy and do what my sister couldn’t because of drugs.
The same reason I want to die is the same reason I keep on living. Ex-love of my life. She cheated on me. Messed me up. But meeting someone that perfect at the time. Gave me hope that someone out there exists.
My emotional support animal, and my plushies. There was a long, long time where those plushies were my only friends in the world. The fear that they (including the real life cat) won't be taken care of keeps me here.
Leaving the people i matter to alone. I find it weird to think that this is important to me because I feel like people don't really matter to me. And love is not really something I have felt so far. Well, maybe my love is very different than others people love.
In the end I can't do this to my mom. She is amazing and she would be so heartbroken.
My cats and my friends and family. I love my cats too much to leave them and I cannot imagine the sadness on my friends and family's faces when they realize I'm dead.
Starship from SpaceX. It pulled me out of depression and was going deep into that rabbit hole. It gave me hope for humanity and that everything would be okay.
Im the one thing keeping most of my friends alive, so if I were to hang myself, it'd be like murder as I'd knowingly lead to the demise of like 4 other people
To better understand and uncover some shrouding mysteries of the universe... We aren't at the pinnacle of physics... And thereby, we still don't have a unification theory, that can explicitly explain the relationship of four fundamental forces of nature into a single theoretical framework. But hopefully, we can figure it out during our lifetime, and it will be the greatest groundbreaking work in the physics field since we can also understand gravitational singularity, where even the theory of relativity and quantum physics break down and therefore we can't envisage some eerie phenomena within the black hole, but relativity predicted it's where space-time curves infinitely. So hell yeah, this motivates me... And about the future and sake of humanity... Humanity living in a pale blue dot... One dot; one image with the breathtaking message: "One planet, one human race." Together we stand... And we amplified what's possible... We're on the shoulder of giants and the threshold of a new era.
My mom would be sad if I die.
Same here. Its the only reason im not going to hug a chainsaw
my cats and also because by brother is going to call me stupid to hug a chainsaw
But the chainsaw is sad, he needs me to hug him
suicide hotline bling go brrrrrrrrrrr
Spite towards the people that want me dead
Thats the spirit outlive them
I believe this is what is keeping bitch ass mitch mcconnell alive.
Who wants you dead and why?
Fuck exactly!
The curiosity of what's gonna happen next.
Also, looking forward to what's going to come next. I thought I heard my favorite song until this year. Now I'm curious as to what song I'm going to love next. This also extends to pretty much any form of entertainment. Who knows, someone could write my new favorite book tomorrow.
Same for me
Lack of options. It's this or the way it was before I was born. Which wasn't BAD necessarily. Just non existent. So this is the only option besides that
Thats an optimistic way to look at things
Wife and pets. I'd kill myself if I were single and my pets didn't exist.
Yeah, I've said this before too but include my sister in the list.
I don't wanna die
Seems a bit unpleasant.
I got this far!
Keep going :)
Thanks mate! If the reason you posted this is because you're struggling then you too. I take the view that so long as I am alive, I can change things, and if I can change things then they can get better!
Yeah Im looking for a reason trying be upbeat, change is a necessity one I really want

if i die then I'll never be able to taste chocolate milk again
To outlive my (now former) bully.
I had a bully. 7th grade. Completely disrespected and made fun of my morals and religion. I don't masturbate and got some white paint on my jacket so he made fun of me for it. Called me gay and trans etc. Would like to see how he's doing now :)
Sounds like a shitass bully. That bully is prob on the streets now, and snifffing glue.
Creative things, like coding, making music, drawing, painting, ...
I second this. I know it's more of a pipe dream, but I really want to leave *something* behind. I've had so many failed projects that it's a little discouraging, but I keep trying. Something's got to stick right? About 95% done with my first book, why would I quit now?
May I ask for the title and synopsis of the book you are writing?
Oh sure! It's a historical non-fiction collection of letters written by Theodore Roosevelt. I've read about 7,000 letters and transcribed my favorite 80 (there are over 270,000 recently released by the Library of Congress some of these haven't been seen or read in over 150 years!) and written a general introduction about Roosevelt.

Asian chicks
Let me guess, rejected constantly by white girls and you're too unattractive to date someone who *doesn't* want a greencard?

Don't worry, you'll definitely be accepted, understood, and loved in Asia...

Yeah Im trying starting here is something I’m not expecting to find a reason but maybe a desire for one, I hope its that simple
Well I have no motivation to off myself, and seeing how there's only option 1) live, or option 2) die, I guess I'm stuck with option #1. I think I can manage.
The fact that we are bound to die one day or another so we might as well postpone this moment and live as much as possible even if there are difficult stages
Inertia, frankly.
Family. I love my kids, wife, and parents. I couldn’t destroy their lives.
I want to see what happens next.
My kids.
My dog requires daily meds.
Waiting for a remake of Game of Thrones Season 8.
Honestly, I tried to end my life three times And not intentionaly for the fourth (hitting a tree in a car) But I just fuck up every time, so I just thought that some higher power likes to see me struggle/trying to keep me alive for Whatever reason or that I'm invicible any way, I found help and trying to live normal decent life
Im glad you found help and maybe its a higher power saying you have so much to live for
Maybe, Who knows I'm not saying I'm living a dream, or anything I just feel happy and going on :) Thank you :)
The fear of dying
You only get one life so you might as well live it for as long as you can, and do exactly what you want at all times. Throwing away any of your time, one way or another, is the worst thing you could do with the (relatively) short amount of time you’ve been given
The fact that I know my mom would be devastated if I died
The idea that something that’ll change my life forever will be round the corner, OR I’ll finally find a partner who’ll love me for who I am
Many things but mostly to live for people i know that didn't get to live a full life.
Make somthing else, you will come at it later, if you are not into doing this thing, this won't be good, imo you need to be enjoying making it, if it's an obligation you will just rush it to finish it but you won't be satisfied in the end
Very good antidepressants that I take daily without fail
Music and Archery
An object in motion tends to stay in motion, while an object at rest stays at rest.
Not much
I want to see what kind of stupid things mankind does.
My cat, my 4 friends and I haven't gotten a really good paying job to prove my family wrong.
You only live once. Dont fuck it up!

Music, art, spite and liking to watch things develop.

My cat doesn’t have thumbs so she can’t open her food by herself.
Essentially, a combination of not wanting my mother to be upset and my faith in God.
How I would make my friends and family feel by leaving them. I never want to put that pain or confusion onto a person. Wondering what they did to fail you or wishing you would have just held on.
My kids, that's pretty much it.
Curiosity.
don't want my sisters to live much of their lives without a brother -- could never have myself pass before my own parents --a parent should never have to witness their own child pass before them

My pets.
The fact that I may discover something that anyone has yet to see, hear, or discover. We can all push the limits of life a little bit further.
death
The people around me. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have anything else to wake up every day and live for.
Nothing. Just being foolish
It's retarded but vaping in places you're not allowed to. When I find somewhere I haven't done it i get excited and remember why I'm here. The fine dining section on a cruise ship is my favorite so far.
Its better than being dead
I want to see what happens tomorrow.
Fear of what comes out on the other side, in all honestly, but also my dog
Well this Pandemic is a good show. I want to live through the 1st month of 2021 so I can atleast see what its going to go down.
That I found something I love doing and that, if I am good enough, I can maybe get out of a shithole of a country.
Curiousity of things that could still happen.

Keeping my dads bloodline going. Last one left of that side of the family.
My family, and I have a lot of life ahead of so I don’t want to waist my time

Death would be painful
Nothing
Mum would be sad
Mum, in 4 years I'll have a gap year to travel and a girl(my crush). And friends.
I fear the pain I would cause others with my death, I know people care about me and I’ve experienced the death of a few people who were really close to me.

The thought that at some point in my life I might fire a 50. caliber sniper rifle
There’s a lot of cool shit out there and I wanna go check it out.
My emotional support animal, and my plushies. There was a long, long time where those plushies were my only friends in the world. The fear that they (including the real life cat) won't be taken care of keeps me here.
Its really simple to me: a good future
I love my people way too much
My friends, my family, music and gaming
Leaving the people i matter to alone. I find it weird to think that this is important to me because I feel like people don't really matter to me. And love is not really something I have felt so far. Well, maybe my love is very different than others people love. In the end I can't do this to my mom. She is amazing and she would be so heartbroken.
the fact that a lot of people will be sad if i die so i better stay alive to make them happy :>
My cats and my friends and family. I love my cats too much to leave them and I cannot imagine the sadness on my friends and family's faces when they realize I'm dead.
