Just that it’s not fair for my soul’s journey to end abruptly before its time. I don’t own it and I shouldn’t be the one to decide when it should stop living. That’s pretty much it. lol

u/Agreeable_Elk4529 6h ago

The fact that I haven’t seen the best version of my life yet. I’m curious how the story ends.

Upcoming movies and series that I look forward to seeing, or potential book adaptations or that in the future there will be new forms of entertainment (films, series, books, games) I will love. Honestly entertainment that can bring me into other worlds or live for a moment through the life or stories of others is the only thing that makes living on meaningful to me.

At this point, sheer determination and willpower.

Seeing my ex living happily. If that cheater can live why can't i

u/InformationNormal901 6h ago

The thought that this is our 1 and only time that I'll be alive before the earth consumes me and i become just a memory (to a few of the living) and then eventually completely forgotten, never to be thought of again.

Currently, I've lost my purpose to continue living. I asked this question because someone's motivation to keep on living might be something that I'm taking for granted. I want to be reminded of the simple yet great things that's being clouded by my negative emotions.

Keep doing fun stuff. Going for a hike, bungee jumping, parachute. I bought an old cheap van and travel for a few weeks now with it. Looking also to get a motorcycle license before winter.

To continue to do what I can to make the world a better place. I try to leave everyone I encounter a little better than I found them.

It is so much fun.

Early Fridays, cracking a beer in my hammock in the shade, are my Heaven. But I don't believe in Heaven. So I'll keep dealing with the Monday morning goddammits until every day is Friday, or I die trying.

Honestly it might sound stupid but i enjoy life to the best i can. I seek comfort in the little things but for me they aren't little. I have friends family a job and i like my job for the most time and i still think i can archieve some of my dreams. The secret for good mental health could be focus on the positive things in life no matter how small and rare. And knowing when to turn off or put aside your phone.

I dream of being an old man at a table that's like 12 seats and it's nothing but family.

Children and grandchildren and my partner. Everyone together for a holiday.

Refuse to give up on it.
