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.

Aw thanks! Back at ya :) <3
Some things! 💙
1. The stars, up there reminding us that life is so much bigger than this. That we're the ones who have to make our time count, that we, in the grand scheme of things, aren't all that important, and that's awesome. Do what you want, live, really live, don't let you restrain yourself. The stars are constant, even if they're blocked by clouds, they're always there
2. The future, the hope. Siting on the beach as the sun sets, adventuring and exploring unknown places, seeing beautiful views. Being in the middle of the forest, a small stream near. Walking in the rain, getting soaked, feeling so happy, hot shower and hot chocolate after. Siting on the rooftop of a building with a friend, just there, happy. Free
3. To prove myself wrong. To prove it wrong. To prove my thoughts wrong. By giving in, I'm doing what my thoughts want me to do. But by fighting, by staying strong, I'm doing the impossible and that's awesome. I'm doing what I thought I never could. I'm surviving, I'm living
💙💙💙
