What are the things that you believe keeps you alive ?

This is probably a little depressing and morbid to think about that but I'm actually curious, what are the things that makes your life worth living, in you opinion ?

(If an admin or a staff member think the subject isn't suitable, do not hesitate to tell me, I didn't want to be a mood breaker or anything and I'll try and remove the thread)

I have a reasonably good contact with my children, but I know they also live a normal life with their mom and new "dad". Sports in fairly high level is also something that keeps bad thoughts in its hidden place... without these two I'd be a homeless bum or worse...

Thanks for being the first to share you thoughts, also I have a little question

Do you think there's something wrong with my thread or anything ? Maybe the title or the subject ? If yes can you help me to make a few changes ?
Maybe another title or something
 
We all have our shit moments... unless it becomes offensive or biased, feel free to express yourself... there are plenty of threads about zoo guilt if you have this in mind, just try not to duplicate (i can't tell if sth like yours is somewhere here, I'm not much of a reader)
 
Right now my animals, the handful of close friends that I can confide in, and a few short term goals that I believe accomplishing will set me up towards a better life. I think I've recently began to recognize just how much of what I do every day is simply to drown out uncomfortable thoughts of introspection--like I can't allow myself to stop and think for fear of what those thoughts might be. But now I've stopped, and while there's still so many thoughts that make me deeply anxious, I feel like it no longer makes sense to just avoid them.

Sorry for the vagueposting lol

Honestly, I like your way of thinking
You try not to worry much and you have goals to avoid feeling down, as long as its working you should keep going this way

This is a difficult question.
I do not know to be honest. :D Obviously I have responsibilities that I would not want to abandon by not being alive. Like my dog for example whom I love.
But if you think about all the things you want to achieve one by one over time, they are kind of meaningless in the long run. In 60 years none of that is going to matter. :D

So in my opinion life if worth living because you have a chance to live one. Giving it up is cowardly. :D

Yep, I know that feeling. The moment you start going deep on what the future will be for you, it gets dark very quickly. :D

I think the OP is asking what do you have to look forward to? What are your passions? What are your hobbies?

For me it's spending quality time with my family and friends. I refuse to talk about my kids on a bestiality site but being a Mom is amazing. I'm an avid reader, 14 books completed so far since January 1st. And I love gardening. You get a special kind of pleasure from watching things grow and then being able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. DYI projects are a fun way to pass the time but I wouldn't say they're a reason to live. TV shows we're kind of obsessed with at the moment are Ru Paul and Bridgerton.

I have very few passions honestly, I'm unsure about a ton of things and all kind of thoughts cross my mind so its hard to make projects sometimes
 
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
First two are filled quite well . The last is damn near topped off . Little one has been keeping me busy.

You'll never know until you try. Great advice someone once gave me, "no matter who may be judging you or saying you can't do things, you are the only one holding yourself back." In other words, do whatever you want, explore what the world has to offer, experience life, cast off those who would tell you 'No' as they're keeping you back where they chose to be, once you do you will find your kind of people and you will find happiness.

Not caring about other people critics is the thing I'm not able to do, I definitely need to work on that
 
It's my mates that keep me going.

It's playing with them, wrestling, tossing balls, no matter how much I may get scratched, or banged around.

It's teaching the young one his manners, and how to be safe in the world.

It's holding them when they feel low, and need a hug, knowing that they feel better in my embrace.

It's leaving and knowing they are home, waiting for me, always happy, always happy to see each other again.

It's thinking about them when I'm at work, wondering if they are ok.

It's laying on the couch, only to have one or more climb up and cuddle.

It's all the perfect little moments when I realize why I choose to have, and care for them. Why I've kept dogs nearby, and why I love them.

My reasons, always, have been my mates, and always will.

im not trying to cater to the website but, ive moved 4 times in the last 4 years i got my dog two years ago i knew when she was a puppy she wasnt mine then but the ownner disbanded her and i got her through that ive had literally everything hit rock bottom, but i have my doggy and i treat her better than i treat myself because it keeps me going.... sorry for the sad story yall
 
I had my boy but he is gone.
I have a few people I care about but I don't think I have the ability to live for another person anymore.
My life is mostly work either paid or unpaid. I have spent most of my life taking care of others that are now dead.
So what keeps me going? I honestly have no idea. I just keep going. Not sure why or how.

dude if you need someone to talk to im here for you nothing sexual though haha have to say it, but my post is pretty similar
 
Life in general.

I mean, if you think about it, how lucky you where beeing born as a human in this point in time. There are so many planets in the universe that host life that is probably miserable. Even if you where born human, but 200 years in the past, life would have been miserable. You could be born as an insect, or bacteria, with a life so short and meaningless. It's litheraly almost infinite more likely to win the lottery one million times in a row, than to be born as a human in this frame of time. So beeing this incredible and umbelivable lucky keeps me going, easily.

I am open to talking if you need to as that seems to help a lot of people and I generally am decent at listening. But for me I have not found talking to help me. It is kind of like doctors being the worst patients.
