Why keep living, what's the use?

There are so many great, beautiful things in this world to see and experience, but sometimes we can forget about all the good when we're in a bad place. And sometimes it can be hard to get ourselves far enough from these dark places to see the light. It's important to remember the things you love, and the things you aspire to. Whether it be a career goal, a desire to travel, or simply a want to continue growing, there's something more for us than just the negative. It can be hard work to get to these better things, it can seem impossible some times, but when we get there, we'll see it was worth it.

Life is a precious precious gift. You only have one shot at it, so make a beautiful mess of your life. Run around madly, read or write stories, scream stupid words across a crowded street, give people massive suffocating hugs, hug old blankets and toys, have a bath till your hands and feet go wrinkly, cuddle an animal, play with a younger child, bake and decorate a huge cake, wink at strangers.. The list is totally endless. Your life only becomes what you make it.

It is beautiful. There aren't always bad things, something has to be good! Remember all the gorgeous moments you had, all the funny things. Some of them are yet to come in the future! You are loved by someone and important to someone - they need you in their lifes as you need them in yours.

YOUR life has purpose. weather you see it or not, your life has a meaning to it, and it AFFECTS EVERYTHING that matters in the world.

Life gets better. Help comes from the most unexpected places and people. Life is a unique challenge to all of us, and conquering what you've already done so far shows how strong you are.

Life is important and people need you! Even when you feel completely down, there are people in your family and friends that love you and need you around. Try helping others and in turn it helps yourself!

Even if you don't think someone cares, they do. I do. Who's going to take care of your pet? Who's going to collect your mail? Keep living for the little things, because a reason to keep living, no matter how small, is big enough.

Life is such a beautiful gift, even if it feels super hard to deal with sometimes. It is one of the biggest cliches to say 'it WILL get better' but it is complete true. Time does heal, you become stronger, wiser and more capable of handling things the more you experience. Keep holding on and keep moving forward, you will be glad when you look back at this time. 💖

Cupcakes, Puppies, Kittens, Beaches, Ice Cream, super heroes, comic books, shopping, pictures of ducks with hats on, deep dish pizza, technology, movie night, how funny it is when your best friend does that thing, how sexy it is when your partner does that thing, cereal, balloons, flowers, video games, getting to walk down the aisle, getting to feed a goose, hugs, cuddling, summer storms, horseback riding, skinny dipping, dancing, bonfires, trips to the lake, the book you haven't written yet, counting the stars in the night sky with someone who thinks you hung them there, traveling the world, traveling to space, traveling back in time, french toast in madrid, breakfast burritos in paris, dressing up like someone you aren't, dressing up like someone you are, music you have never heard, books you have never read, ever single job you could ever do, every online course you could ever take. There are trillions and trillions of reasons to live, and absolutely zero logical ones to die. I agree with madiasa

Your life is your story. Each page is a new day. You can't change what has happened but you can decide what is written. Life is life. Without the bad there isn't good. Without the light there isn't dark. You have to experience everything to know how to live. Every life is as valuable as the next. Yours is the most valuable thing you have.
