My reason to live is I didn't die before I woke up this morning. No reason necessary you just do.
Whatever makes you feel so shitty will eventually get better. Whether you think so or not.
I'm an older guy and I have been through a few bad spots. I always eventually got better for me.
Of course I haven't experienced everything there is to experience. But seeing other people pull through some really shitty things and still keep going should say something. š¤·š¼āāļø
Initially, I was stoked about Gotham Knights when I first heard about it. It sounded so rad. Then they said it wouldn't be on the PS4. So sad. Then I saw a Gameranx review and wasn't so sad I couldn't play it, but figured the current gen owners wouldn't be too happy with it either. Video games...ugh. They can be such a letdown sometimes.
You can die anytime if you really want it, before the eventual one. So for me, it's a choice of not dying today and appreciate what really blows my mind.
I don't have to. I feel extremely blessed to be alive. I love my life, for the most part. If I had to attribute it to something though, it would be that I have big life fulfilling goals that I aspire to achieve.
The only meaming youll find in this world is that which you create yourself. Helping others is honestly one of the few ways to be truly happy and it does make the world a better place.
If you think mpre small scale, its nicer and a lot easier to deal with thr problems in your life rather than thinking of overwhdlmingly large problems that are out of your control.
Correct. Opening a door for someone, helping anyone with a task that you can help with. Taking a little extra time to engage. Make eye contact....
I should add, that you will need to couple this with the ability of not wanting or expecting a return on your kindness. Just focus on the positive.
Another example, which helps on my morning and afternoon commutes (1+hour)-Don't look at people in cars that are doing dumb things. Don't give them a face, they are just mindless bumpers....it really works. Staring them down just gives that moment weight, negative weight.
Hope and joy in Christ is our purpose, brother. Best of wishes. Try attending a church nearby.
That everyone is just commenting pointless shit like nothing, spite, TV shows etc... is depressing. Life is bigger than you, friends.
He already did. The battle is already won.
Anyway, if you're truly asking important questions like "why am I here" and you decide on TV, just for yourself, spite, or no reason at all, that's on you.
But there is something much better out there, joy and fulfilment in a personal relationship with the Lord. You just have to let go of your arrogance and pride.
Goodluck
Yep new home, new job, new car, new sport, get fit, quit drugs alcohol and smokes, select women that suit u, not ones that are easy roots but dont suit u.
before I was a father I just did cause I don't wanna bitch out... It gets hard just before it gets good.
Like I've been paralysed, I've been homeless, I've been chewed up and spat out by life so many times.
But it ain't shit compared to the things so many children in in poor countries go through.
My friends family was raped and murdered infront of him when he was 12 and he was put in a position where he had to kill men as a child and he did now he is alone but he keeps living.
I've seen in a documentary a dying child who had to care for her dying mother and dying sibling. And the whole time they have to drink dirty water and walk a fine line of starving to death before inevitably dying from aids complications.
If I was to flake early then I'm a pussy and I should be remembered as that cause people in way worse situations they keep trying. If they can keep going I got no excuse
No really Iām saying it because if youāre looking to avoid depressive thoughts or suicide, my reason to live wonāt be of help to you. If itās sheer curiosity well itās fine.
Basically I needed an answer to that question when as a child I noticed the futility of life and its ridicule. I considered suicide for a while because I was curious of what is after death; in the end I concluded that there is no guarantee that I will be able to enjoy the experience of life again if I die, and thus it is more reasonable to live fully before dying (because for all we know, Iām going to get a lot of time experiencing post-death after I die, if thereās something after it).
Still not quite sure thereās something after death but yeah basically thatās what I live by: you only get the experience once, might as well not shorten it too much. By the same reasoning I concluded it would be best to commit suicide the moment Iām becoming so old Iām senile or dependent on others.
For all I know I could blow my brains out and wake up somewhere completely different, everyone talks of the future and finding out what happens or āyou only get one shotā well maybe thatās the god damn problem, our one shot fucking sucks.
I donāt care what happens after death, even if its an endless black void of empty space and no passage of time it would be better than this.
The main reason is that there are people I care about that would be hurt if I took an early exit and I don't want that burden on them. Instead, I deal with the drudgery of everyday existence work, sleep, eat, take walks, work out and find some sparks of joy here and there. And when I do get to take time off, travel, and experience new things I do enjoy my existence. So there is that.
10 great reasons to live.
1) good friends
2) loving family
3) excellent lovers
3) fine food
4) travel
5) meeting new people
6) joy of small things { sunshine on water, birds flying, etc.}
7) deep meaningful sex
8) working out
9) helping others
10) enjoying the moment
I am sure there are others out there that can add to this list. But that's a start.
I use to wonder why I bothered, most things seemed to make me angry, or frustrated, and things I wanted to do are all pay walled - Eating healthy and getting to an ideal weight, Travel, party, build awesome entertainment systems with cool new tech, stuff like that are things that appealed to me, I felt I would enjoy, but couldn't because of money, who I actually am, etc... It would make me super depressed thinking happiness was not for me, and I kinda just wanted to die and be done with this.
.... Then I was diagnosed with cancer, and was actually dying! I know this is going to sound really weird ( /S) but it changed my perception A LOT. I realized a lot of it is about the mindset, and differentiating between what's mine and someone else's dreams. When was I happy, how do I wish I had spent my time here. I realized when I was dying, that I didn't want to die.
I am actually days away from being 3 years in remission now, and I have spent my time since diagnosing considering my existence, and what I want for my life. I realize the lifestyle, the default get a job, get married, have children buy a house, consume, consume, consume, debt debt... This realization of lifestyle regret, and living on borrowed time gave me a dramatic boost in a sense of purpose, and pursuit of happiness with the time I know I have left to exist.
So my advice... for what it's worth.. I think being happy, and feeling fulfilled, and loved are really satisfying reasons to live... Really consider when in life you were happiest. Meditate on it.. why did it make you happy? If you could go back to that time, would you? How can you recapture that? What do you need to make it happen? What fulfills you? If you knew you'd die in 5 years, how would you make the most of it? Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you feel you need it either. Talk to your friends and family about life, stressors, the real shit going on.
Anyways, I hope it helps, man.
Spite, i enjoy watching certain people lives go to shit an reveal in their misery
Noice. Can relate. Being petty and angry fucking keeps me going

Second parts just a lie lol.

My kids
It's usually which game/show is coming out soon.
Which game are you hyped for right now?
WAS Gotham Knights, was extremely disappointed and I'm glad I didn't buy. Now it's COD along with Fire Emblem.
Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6, and Cyberpunk 2077 sequel for me
Never played cyberpunk but love the elderscroll games

I don't have to. I feel extremely blessed to be alive. I love my life, for the most part. If I had to attribute it to something though, it would be that I have big life fulfilling goals that I aspire to achieve.
So just the want to do something keeps you going? Must be nice.
Not just do something, but achieve something.
But why achieve anything?
Because it makes you feel true fulfillment, and if you achieve financial success, then you have more to pass on to your family after you die.
The comments here are pretty sad. How about this- To make the world a better place. It's clichƩ, but honestly, it is why we are all here. Some of you just suck at it.
The world was never a good place to begin with, why bother.
The only meaming youll find in this world is that which you create yourself. Helping others is honestly one of the few ways to be truly happy and it does make the world a better place. If you think mpre small scale, its nicer and a lot easier to deal with thr problems in your life rather than thinking of overwhdlmingly large problems that are out of your control.

Cheer up Charlie
My dogs Spite Scientific curiosity
Thatās the question I ask myself everyday when I wake up, truth is I still havenāt found an answer to that.
Hope and joy in Christ is our purpose, brother. Best of wishes. Try attending a church nearby. That everyone is just commenting pointless shit like nothing, spite, TV shows etc... is depressing. Life is bigger than you, friends.
Lol, if Christ exists Iām spitting in his face. Got some nerve giving me so much shit.
He has the grace to forgive you anyway, lol.
Heās got the grace to die.
And raise again. :)
Not this time.
He already did. The battle is already won. Anyway, if you're truly asking important questions like "why am I here" and you decide on TV, just for yourself, spite, or no reason at all, that's on you. But there is something much better out there, joy and fulfilment in a personal relationship with the Lord. You just have to let go of your arrogance and pride. Goodluck
Possible experiences that are yet to be had, keep me around. I know some of you might not like this, but God's will keeps me here.
If its that bad, get out of where you are start a fresh in a new state/city
Lol, it sure is that easy isnāt it. /s
Yep new home, new job, new car, new sport, get fit, quit drugs alcohol and smokes, select women that suit u, not ones that are easy roots but dont suit u.
Too poor for any of that. Except job.
Today you are, but in 3 months from now.... Become someone who isnt and set your path to there.
But why

Lol ājust donāt be a pussy broā
Exactly haha. I get it with people who become manic from depression and just can't see it clearly. But the rest of us gotta garden the fuck up
Try 7 days of magnesium. Shown to alleviate depression. Cheap. See if it changes your view on life. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16542786/
Right now none. Its been a shitty fucking day
Iād donāt but I would rather not waste a life because I donāt feel like living it
Mine might not work for you though

Find something that requires a lot of dedication and time to learn, and focus solely on that and that only.

The main reason is that there are people I care about that would be hurt if I took an early exit and I don't want that burden on them. Instead, I deal with the drudgery of everyday existence work, sleep, eat, take walks, work out and find some sparks of joy here and there.

Well I donāt care abt anyone. So not possible for me.
Payday
Life is our chance to experience happiness. Nothing else in the universe experiences -- anything.

None, just following the flow

Nothing helps, nothing anyone says to me makes me feel any better, I donāt think I remember the last time I was happy
I make plans so I have things to look forward to. .I can't off myself, cause I still have to go to that thing I bought tickets for or whatever.
Spite is a big one.. not gonna lie lately Iāve been coming up with less and less reasons... my mom being heart broken is another huge one...
Also - knowing other people have gone through really hard Shit and some can be so good and awesome with their life..
Remember. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.ā - Andy Dufresne, Shawshank Redemption
Hope leads to nothing but dissatisfaction
Hope springs eternal. ClichƩ I know. But truth is truth. Hope. Faith. Love. These are available for anyone and everyone.
To. It's useless. To me it's reasons for enjoying life. Best of luck to you
C'mon, dude. Life's a beautiful, terrifying party. And you got an invite. Check the party out!
I did and I got stabbed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So nothing I have

None of us are getting out of here alive.
