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
Cats in general but specifically my cat's little trot to come greet me when I come home, that says even if she largely ignores me in favor of my roommate she still is happy to have me home. The softest thunk of her little paws when she jumps off something. When she corners me in the kitchen so I have to sit down and play the petting in a circle game (I keep my arms out ready to pet while she circles around me and rubs all on my back and the arm she wants petted by, and then circles again)...
Seeing the moon, or her light through clouds. Seeing Orion, the first constellation I recognized. Flowers and oversized plants growing by the sidewalk. Seeing dogs out in the world. Flan. Kettle corn. Happy babies that smile and laugh when I smile at them.
Small things worth living? Nature, fresh air, hugs, watching animals... there are so many of them^^
My dog, and knowing she would starve herself to death without me here.
it's pretty silly, but if i weren't here, i'd never get to experience the feeling of biting into a warm gooey brownie ever again.
I dont know y I find it difficult to answer every time I see this question
The tastes of my favorite foods and the time I spent with my favorite people ❤️🔥
The feel of putting on big snuggly wollen socks when your toes are chilly

Super soft blankets to cuddle under on a cool morning
With a mug of rich hot chocolate
My dog looking up at me with her sweet eyes and being determined to play with me, even when I'm down.
Unplanned chill sessions with that one friend whose presence reminds you that human beings are beautiful.
I find new strength for myself when I learn the good news. For example, modernization news at Naperville in chicago breaking news help me feel with society. This is the hardest thing for an introvert( I had to spend some time looking for good sources of news, without politics and crime chronicle. It supports me and gives me strength.
Unexpected kindness from a person in an even more desperate situation than the one I'm in
Having friends...it does matter especially in depression, they know your lowest yet they will be there for and with you for the journey. Even if they say "I cannot help you", they take your hand and just hang in there with you...so yes, friends...

Holding tight and knowing your going to do the same.

Waiting for good news. I hope someone will bring you some pumpkin pie, some treats, a miniature lit pumpkin and a mask😊🤗
Knowing that my pets depend completely on me. I can't just leave without them suffering for it too.
I really need to talk to someone. I have been depressed for a while but my baby sis got beat up really bad by a dog and I got really hurt and blamed it all on me and now it's gotten worse to where I think of suicide all the time. And I really just need someone I can talk to without them giving me ggeir opinion.
my parents would go crazy if i wasn't here keeping the balance
my friends would rip each other apart
all the doggos in my neighborhood wouldn't be getting nearly as much love
my boy would be very unhappy with me - and even if you don't have someone, don't stop looking. I literally found him on tik tok and he happened to go to a neighboring school - never thought that would happen
my friends would actually have their clothes.. but where's the fun in that
Spending time with my niece, watching the office, get my nails done and looking and listening to nature.

I'm sure you can find something worth living for. Even if it's small.

Sunshine is nice but I like rain more.
Baking soufflés with you one rainy day in that log cabin nestled deep in the woods, somewhere far away.
Morning sunshine that bathes you in that golden glow, flooding your insides with warmth, and cradles so softly your soul.
The streets of New York where the rhythm beats wild and the city gives new meaning to feeling alive.
The smile of my mother, as she beckons me, wipes the tears that slip my eyes.
