What little things in life make it worth living?
For me,
It's hot chocolate on cold days
Or songs that make you dance;
Sunsets that kiss the world with fire
And put you in a trance
It's snuggling inside a blanket,
becoming a human burrito;
Or passing someone on the street
And exchanging quick hello's
Lovely people of 7 Cups,
those are some of mine;
It's appreciating these things, one by one,
that make life truly shine
My nephews are my reason to love without having then I wouldn't be here
My son. He makes me remember that where I am at in life is where I am suppose to do and lets me know in his eyes I am the best mother and best person ever. Thats all that matters to me.
The hope of making everyone else happy despite my own inner turmoil.
My friends - who have been with me through everything. Also, cookies are a great reason to live too! <3 Wishing all of you a great day! <3
when u buy something for ur sibling and it makes them happy
when u appreciate someone and say thank you
when u feel appreciated and existing
Tail wags from my dogs and my cat on my lap, always gives me something to cling to on the bad days.
All my friends on 7cups, who make my life so much better. Thanks guys! You all mean a lot to me 💖
My betta fish who wiggles at me as soon as I wake up, my dog who stretches and sticks his tongue out at the same time, the family of stray cats that greet me in the morning, looking up at the sky and realizing how fluffy the clouds look today, seeing my family smile, the moment you make eye contact with a stranger and realize you're both going through shit, the music and art someone has created to express themselves... I could add so much more, but I'll stop for now... x)
My cats, a cup of hot tea or cocoa, a day at any amusement/theme park or arcade, my friends, any sunset, seeing anyone genuinely happy, feeling alive on a roller coaster, a big bowl of ice cream, laughing with friends, laughing period, playing games like Pokemon and Rocket League, road trips, realizing you're not hated despite your anxiety and depression claiming you are, being at the beach, in a forest or at a national park.
Long hugs, good food, my sister, good books, and beautiful days. :)
making someone smile or helping them out when they truely need it
ice cream
The giggles of ypur daughter coming out of the water...
The smooth snoring of your wife near your snoring dog...
A hand on you when you don't expect any...
A sand castle...
@carefulCup1049 I've always felt that a snoring dog (or cat) is one of the homiest sounds in the world. :)
My friends, family, significant other <3
Coffee :)
Dogs!
Knowing I can do something for others
My cat! When he jumps up on my bed and falls asleep next to me 💜
@juniperandlamplight1, that is awesome!
@greenSpring309 yeahh he's my baby, I honestly don't think I'd still be here without him
@juniperandlamplight1 My cat does that too! It's adorable.
We have excellent cats.
(When Im older) having a family. I see this family all the time when I close my eyes or ask myself what I want out of a family. It makes me happy, they make me happy. If I have to go through all this pain to be able to see them, Ill just keep on going through it because my heart is telling me it is worth it.
Sweet animals and long weekend visits from someone whose company I have been missing...
Seeing the moon and stars on a clear night. The smell of freshly baked bread. How happy my gran was to see me today. When my dog gets really excited at my arrival and the cuddles he gives me. The comfort of knowing I have a loving family. Plants. Autumnal leaves. Fresh dew. The smell of fresh mint and basil. The sound of bird song and the waves on the shore. The feel of a warm genuine hug. Seeing a smile on someone you love.
Rereading a compliment, something that I did that was more than I thought I could accomplish, a nice validating thing someone said about me to me, which reminded me that there are people who do see me and that I am not as worthless as some people would make me out to be.
Loving everyone and every moment of your life, with your whole heart, believe me it's possible, even though life is very cruel.
An awesome ride on Twisted Colossus, or Tatsu, or Ghostrider, or HangTime or some other awesome rollercoaster.
A cup of hot tea or cocoa
A good time or night with awesome friends
One on one time with a friend
Watching a good show on TV with a cat on your lap
A delicious pizza
A sunset
