Reasons to live
Hi all ❤️
This is inspired by an old friend of mine, who loved lists.
It’s just a list of things/ experiences that keeps me going, and mostly make it worth it to go through so much.
My list :-)
- Basking in the sun on late winter afternoons
- Dancing in the rain
- Dark chocolate
- Feeding and watching birds and squirrels
- Gifting a gift to someone
- Going out running during winter nights
- Hugging my loved ones
- Listening to music
- Planting and looking after trees
- Playing in the dry leaves
- Reading a new book
- Seeing children smile
- Standing in a windy storm
- Swimming in the rain
- Teaching and playing with kids
- Trying out a new hat(not necessarily buying it )
So, yes these things help me wake up every morning.
Would love to read your lists too, if you would like to share and that you are not alone in just struggling to be. We can only try to be there for each other. ❤️
Sending my best wishes to everyone.
@ferventflame This is so beautiful flame <3 We learn to appreciate small things after going through rough times and it always amazes me how we just need a small hope, a tiny glimmer to get through the dark. Thank you for sharing ^-^
Thank you would love to read yours if you ever make one.
It is wonderful how small things in our nature can give us hope to keep going through the worst. Resilience of people always amazes me.
Thank you for reading ❤️
@ferventflame I just have silly things and high hopes that keep me going and yes nature too *-* it's fun to go on walks early winter mornings.
@ferventflame Niceee!! Well not sure about the list but thinking upon I think talkin' to people, friends and one thing that makes me wanna go further is wanting to know what life has got for me in future. Basically like reading a book and you are curious how things will turn out same for our own life. Don't give up whoever reading this who knows life has something good in future. Tagging @FighterArpi @Shizukanachinmoku @YourFriend247 share yours!!!

Very well written and expressed❤️😊
Well, I don't have a list just this -
I believe as a human being I do have an immense capability and possibility to add value in people's life in so many ways and I wanna walk so long on this path and it's worth it to live when you have a vision !

It’s a sweet group of things and experiences.
Hehe as much as you love talking to people, we love your company too. You are definitely fun to talk to. Being curious about things is great :D and uncertainty can be a good motivator to not give up, I agree.
Thank you for sharing and reading. ❤️Keep inspiring people (:
Aw thankyou for the tag , Adorable Angel ! Soo appreciated ❤ I am in awe of what you said , it truly is all about finding the * light * amidst the darkness which helps us keep going ~ this light can be around us, but often it is * in * ourselves and sometimes even ~ light = Us ! 🤗
❤ This is such a thoughtful thread, @ferventflame ! I love your list ~ heartwarming to see the utterly simple pleasures help you keep going ~ it is the same for me , the simple pleasures in life , being close to nature and experiencing things one at a time ~ a cherish worthy life experience on its own, I feel ! 🤗
Besides all of these , something that keeps me going is love for myself, love for loved ones and love for life ~ in its entirety ! 🌻

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Nods, I agree sometimes lights can be us too, it’s wonderful how we can all impact each other’s life greatly just by simple kind gestures.
Your posts on the forum here often make me smile. Thank you. Haha just an example of what you said of people being the light themselves :)
:D being with nature and our loved ones is a big motivation to keep going. I am glad you have your loved ones around with you ❤️
Aww thankyou for the sweet reply , @ferventflame 😊
And a big chunk of my heart for " Your posts on the forum here often make me smile. Thank you. Haha just an example of what you said of people being the light themselves :) " ~ so very touched to hear this! Grateful always 🌻❤
@ferventflame.
Thanks for this post
I enjoy sitting on my deck at night looking at the stars and the moonlight as it shadows my porch. I enjoy just listening to the night sounds of the animals and insects.
I like to watch the birds come to my window and eat every morning.
I like to see my dog chase the squirrels and they outsmart him every time.
I like to feel the sun on my skin and the gentle breeze across my face
Experiencing transformation and seeing and feeling the beauty of ourselves and others and the world at large.
Wow this list is so beautiful flamey. It's just super wow to me. You are so brave and kind and sweet. I hope everything gets best soon.💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛💜💙💚❤️🧡💛
- A hot shower during winter
- Snuggling and reading with a cup of coffee during the rain
