What do you live for?
So I hope this is an appropriate section to post this, it goes along with the mantras I think.
Out of personal interest I started a survey, asking people what are the 3 most important things(/emotions/activities/...) in their life.
I find it very inspiring to learn about what it is that gives life sense.
I would appreciate it a lot if you took the time to think about this and share your thoughts with me!
You can just leave it in the comments or use this link: https://de.surveymonkey.com/s/P6FZDZ3
Thank you very much!
I live for:
1. My loved ones
2. My music
3. My writing
I realized that I live for the moments where I can help people through points of extreme vulnerability. This means a lot to me.
I live for my friends and family, like most people have stated. I also live to bring joy to other people's lives.
I live to read ( stories and beautiful words written by people inspire me) , for love and to figure out my passion :)
I live for:
1) Moments of reconciliation
2) Quiet moments shared with friends
3) Taking part in creative experiences
Some years ago I had problems with depression and self harm and was admitted to a psychiatric ward for 16 days. In those times, I created my list and my top three were: 1) Family- I have three younger siblings and I wanted to be around to see the little ones grow up and the bigger one to do well in his new life out of state 2) The world- being locked up indoors for that amount of time gave me a new appreciation for fresh air and sunlight, and hiking has become a more common way to spend my weekends. Climbing a mountain or looking at a vast forest really puts life into perspective. 3) Art- Going through what I did, I dove into music and cooking to keep myself busy. As I poured my soul into my work, I began to notice it in the meals I ate and the songs I listened to; they were mediums for conveying the emotions and wishes of their creators.
By living for those three reasons, they gave me the strength to live on for myself again
The three most important thing in my life are;
My family
Contentment
Adventures
I came upon this thought after I was ejected from a dorm room of a girl who had hosted me for my university's orientation week, and almost spent the night without a place to sleep.
I live for a chance at a good job and better lifestyle, a partner and family to love and love me, and a chance to travel the world and improve it during my life.
I live for my family (also the one that i consider as a member of myfamily), career and i guess, myself, love yourself first before anyone.
I guess I live for love, learning, and giving back :)
