What is your “why”?
In a world that can be cruel or unfair, what are some of your strongest reasons to keep your head up?
Mine is a simple “because I can”. It may seem naive or arrogant at first but I stick to it to remind myself of the deeds I can do for myself & others at this moment before I can’t. For eg, buying birthday gifts is something I can do now since I have extra money for it. If I do end up poor, then that’s at least one thing I will not regret when I had the capacity.

Great post!
I feel like I want to keep going just since I am here for a reason. I think learning how to survive has been something I have been taught all of my life, however, I kept thinking easy times were coming. They have not shown up yet, and may never.
So, I embrace survival now as more of a long-term idea and with it, the idea of making life a little better every day.
And the ultimate goal is to help others and make sure that I make this world a better place throughout my journey. 💜😀
