Because you are asking, you are considering so that is the first step to healthy living! I find it difficult to imagine that I'm just thrown into this world without a cause. Perhaps try to imagine you are here for a purpose and you just haven't found it yet. Try to envision that someday you're actions will make a small change in one person that grows to affect the world. If looking ahead too far is too difficult, try taking life a day at a time or even a moment at a time if need be. Your life has purpose and please do whatever you can to find it!

That's a matter of perspective. Your lifetime is limited and it can be only significant on a small range, your own atmosphere, family and friends. Being a more successful person expands the range of your significance, but at the end everyone fades and nothing remains but what we have done with our lives. So, you get to choose whether you wanna leave something behind for others or no and you choose whether you want to die feeling empty or fulfilled and satisfied.

Otherwise you'll never know what's to come. Good things come to those who wait. Every new day gives us the opportunity to feel and experience things. As long as we're here it's never too late to accomplish our dreams. Every new day is a new chance to make a change. And if you don't do things differently you can't expect things to change. Of course we want to find happiness. Keep living to live out your purpose. EVERYONE has a purpose in life. If you don't know what yours is.. Find one. Make that your mission. No one said this was going to be easy.

When we go through a dark time it becomes hard for us to see the use of living. I understand that you fell hopeless right now, and maybe want to end your life, and thus you are missing all the beauties of living. If you are consistent in this feeling, I think it is best to seek professional help, maybe talk to a therapist who will be able to determine how you can overcome these hard moments of your life.

Living is indeed boring, but we never know what we could be doing in the future like traveling, collecting a thing you love or even trying new foods you haven't before. But if you think about it, what's the use on dying when you're alive?

Keep living so you can see the sunrise, the warm oranges and precious pinks filling the awakening sky. keep living so you can look to someone you love and see a smile spread wide across their face. Keep living so one day you can see yourself in the mirror and love what you see. Keep living so you can say "I survived everything life threw at me."

Keep living because of the small things. Keep living because if you aren't alive who will feed the cat in the morning? Keep living because if you died you would never here that new music your favorite artist will release. Keep living so you can get to the season finale of your show. Keep living so you can feel the rain on your face again. Take it one day at a time, don't make a huge commitment. Say I'm going to live today because maybe if you decide to die, you'll miss a YouTube video that you'd have wanted to see. Have the courage to live and do it slowly. Give yourself one day, hell, give yourself an hour and just say- okay I'm going to give myself an hour. If It gets too much after that hour, I'll stop. I'll take a break. But someday you'll find that after that hour, you can make it to two. And then three. And then four. And then an entire day, week, month. Sure, it won't be easy but just think about all the things that you would miss if you are gone. You would never watch a sunrise again. A sunset. You would never live out one of your dreams. So start out small- give yourself an hour. Soon you may find that living won't be a burden anymore.

We keep living for a sense of future, to support our families and friends and to notice the little beautiful details that surround us. Ultimately yes nothing is important and I'm not going to lie and pretend that there aren't times I've also questioned the plint in living, but if you look around and see all of the things around us, weather that comes from wealth or just simple things like how green some patches of grass are, or how perfectly that rain drop falls down a window, there's always something to pick up on.

Because the bad times will always pass, the black cloud that hangs over you will dissipate, it just takes time. Sometimes it's hard to see the good things left in life, and for many, it feels like there are none - but no matter how much has gone wrong and how you may feel you've failed yourself, it will get better - you are an important and brave and strong human, even when you feel the complete opposite.
