You must keep living because people care and worry and think about you constantly without you even knowing and you may not feel like it’s true but it is
To grow as a human being and understand what you are feeling so even if you never fully overcome it, you can take away a little pain and help others.

There would probably be a lot of answers to this (and my answer is subjective and many answers will be) but Friedrich Nietzsche once summed up that:
"Life can be meaningful enough to justify it's suffering"
And the idea behind this is that all of the tragedy in your life can be justified with the meaning you can find in your life.
Life will give you a lot of experiences - good and bad. These experiences will challenge and sometimes break us. Nobody can protect from that.
You have to believe in yourself. Your life is a journey and after a while you discover the reason why you are on earth.

There are many reasons and I am concerned that you need more assistance than what I am trained to provide. Please seek help right away from someone you trust or one of our hotlines to get the trained help you are needing. Hang in there and remember that all things change and this too shall pass. There are many reasons to keep living. Even when it feels like there isn’t right now. Times of darkness and hardship is where we do the most work and growth so we can evolve and learn from
Our experiences and then we can go on by leading lives in order to help others get through similar tough times.
Because there's always a reason for me to keep fighting to be better and be part of the change. When I ran of reason to keep living I look inside and always found the reason and strength to go on. I am weird, imperfect and broken but I am also my own biggest cheerleader.
Think about the small things in life like smelling wet dew on grass. Reading a book on a stormy day, experiencing a belly laugh. Feeling the warm sun on your skin. Slowly make our way toward bigger things like family and friends that push you to continue. Making a list of all the beautiful things you will be missing. Life is hard, and there never is a clear answer in life, but there are many things to live for; it just may be harder for others. If your really considering suicide, please call the suicide hotline. I also suggest seeking help. Asking for help doesn't make you weak it makes you stronger.
Joy. Adventure. Connection. There are so many reasons. Still at times we cannot see any of them. All we see is pain. It is precisely at this moment of greatest pain that we can often open to new possibilities. What do we have to lose?

Life is a beautiful place. The surrounding skies and nature show us how much beauty really lies within the world we live in. Our family, friends, and the love we have for one another keeps us going from day to day. Seeing relationships improve and our kids grow is reason enough to keep that drive for wanting to continue onward.
I've been asked before, "Why should I go on living?" I then ask the question, "Can you tell me one good thing about your life?" The answer has always been yes... And another question gets asked... "Isn't that reason enough to live?"

Life can be really tough sometimes. Sometimes I feel as though I have no purpose and shouldn't even be alive at all! These feelings are really difficult to deal with. But people, everybody, wants you alive. They want to be around you, they want to smile at you, they want to laugh with you and know that they're there for you. Because, even if it may never seem like it, you're valued and loved. It's hard to feel as though you matter to the world--but trust me, we're here for you to listen, even if nobody seems to be.
Life is very beautiful. We might not realize it since our lives are filled with darkness that has seeped inside our hearts because of the toxicity around us.
Life is really beautiful. We have the eyes but we are blinded to the beauty. It is like there's a veil over our eyes that prevents us from seeing the beauty. Look at nature. The beauty that it holds. Start by looking at a plant. See how gracefully it is designed. Look at the leaves, the detail put into it. The branches of veins extending from the midrib outstretching further.
Now look at a human. The eyes. the mouth, the fine details. Ponder over how the Creator perfectly designed it.
Even though sometimes we feel as if we shouldn't live we all have a reason to live. Living can help us give hope and be an example to others who might not want to live. When we stay alive we can grow and improve on ways we can handle these emotions. By living we give others a reason to live because if we are dead sometimes it won't give courage for the others who want to die. Your presence is very needed on earth. You change the world whether or not you can see that. There are always setbacks but when we grow from those setbacks we see a whole new world ahead of us.

You should keep living because you have a purpose in life. You deserve to be here. You accomplished so many things in life, you can't throw that all away. You got to realize that life sucks sometimes, but it will get better. Now I wish I could tell you when it gets better, but I can't, because I don't know when it'll get better, but I promise it will one day. People would be heartbroken if you left. We all have rough patches in life and this one just happens to be yours, but you will get through this. I believe in you. Stay strong.

You are wanted and do have a purpose on this earth. It may feel like you have no use right now but that is a temporary feeling. Right now, the pain and darkness feels like it will last a lifetime but I can assure you it won’t. You’re really strong for making it this far and you do have a future. You may feel like there is nothing left to live for but there is. Live for you and your future. Live for any hobbies and passions you have. If you feel like you don’t have any, try some new activities, see if you can find something you love. Live for any memories of happiness.
There isn't one. Living doesn't always need to have a point, the same way death doesn't have a point. You live, hence you die. Since both of these things happen naturally, you don't need a reason to live. The world is your home. Just like it is for millions of other living organisms. You have the chance to explore and experience your home for how it is. It's all about perspective towards life. Do what you like to do and have fun and if there's nothing that you like to do presently, look around. There are thousands of activities going on. Try one, see how you like it. If you do, that's great. If you don't find another one.
Good question. Sadly I'm in the same boat you are. I finally decided to say screw it all and I got myself a VR headset to escape this horrible world entirely whenever I need to, which is every day. This world ceases to exist once I put the VR on and I wear my headphones. It's the only place I feel I have any control over what happens. It helps me forget all of the evil this world keeps spewing out. If that doesn't do it for you try wearing earphones playing nature sounds while wearing a blindfold up you can't see. It won't help you find a reason to live, but it can take you out of the moment so you can forget about life for a while.
I know right? I wonder so often... But after wondering for many years I think I get it. We keep on living because we don't want to let go of the chances we were given. You have the opportunity to find love, friendship and happiness and whether you manage or not, you still do have the opportunity. It would be such a shame to throw all that away. Most people who choose to die suffer from mental illness and are in need of help. It is not your fault, there is nothing you can do about it but stay strong and look for help wherever you can get it.
Keep living for yourself! Many people will tell you to think of your family and friends but you are the most important! Your struggles and hardships are sacrifices that you make, and you should be using them to improve your life. There are a million answers to the the question the meaning of life, all you have to do is find the answer that you fits you, whether that's family or friends, a hobby, a career, anything at all. It's out there waiting for you! Take each day as it comes and work up one small step each time. Try new exercises, new games, open a new book! Rome wasn't built in a day and you are just as great and complex as it, so it will take time. You can do it, and you should do it for yourself!

My goal in my life is to help the people around me as much as I can. I want to let people feel their life is worth living. I want to make them feeling wanted and that they deserve so much more than they really think. The people in this world can be really jerks and there are a lot of peolpe who feel bad because of another person. But I think we need to be there for for one another, people need each other to survive and to live a happy life. But not many do realise that. I want to let people experience my perspective of view on the world and humanity.
Because we only live once! you get one shot in this universe and you're willing to blow it? life can be a cruel b*** sometimes, but if you know how to look at it and where to place yourself... the most beautiful, magical, wondrous things will happen to you.. we keep living because we want to see that one moment that says "it was all worth it! and i would do it 100 times over"
The problem is you haven't found purpose yet, nobody is purposeless its that they simply haven't found why they need to keep waking up. the purpose for those people is to find the purpose, in times like those, life seems meaningless, but its not, you just need to search hard for it
We should live for all those around us. We should live for ourselves and living out lives to the fullest. We should not end it short. Living to make others happy may make you feel good on the inside, making you happy. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
You living is an important thing in everyone’s lives, not only to your family but your friends. So many people care and love you. This feeling will pass and you will do extraordinary things in life. Stay strong, you’ve got this â¤ï¸
Because you can explore so many things throughout life. There are so many opportunities to take! So many things to learn. Life is an amazing thing and you should experience as many things as possible.
well life has alot of potential into it, dont take your life at all because it will put hurt on others -- ive lost few people and death is scary and death is sad... if you ever feel this way talk to someone close to you or a suicide hotline we will stand by your side be positive and overcome this - we love and care for you.
Life is filled with adventures. Life is a roller coaster ride. There are high points, and low points. You have gotta do what’s best for you to always make sure the high points far out weight the bad.
Life is hard, but has many beautiful surprises in our paths. There is more good than bad, there are more who want to help than hurt.
Always keep fighting. Living a life is important, even if you don't always see the reason. "One bullet kills many" Your death will affect other people too. Maybe you feel like nobody cares, but that isn't true. Even if you are all alone, you never know when you could meet someone new that will change your life forever. Suicide isn't putting an end to things getting worse, it is just stopping things from getting better.
