We keep living because we are given a reason to live. We may not know why now, but it takes time to know why.

Life, while incredibly painful at times, has plenty to live for. Now, I don't know your situation at all, however, I can assure you there is hope. Yeah yeah, cliche, I know. But trust me, there is truth woven in many stories. While you may think that life isn't worth it, allow me to try and sway your mind. I've been in the same mindset before, questioning the point of life, if it's worth it, why I should endure- and for what. Really, it's about having something to fight for, if not yourself and your future, something or someone you love. Because while this world is very heartbreaking, it is also very, so incredibly beautiful. We have music and food, dancing and culture! Bookstores and tales of romance and adventure. Medicine that can help, people who save lives and try to minimize the damage that life throws at us. We have animals and oceans and forests and the sky, and long road trips. We have nature. We have the ability to see the good in other people, and to trust and love with no regrets. If you have any goals in life- even some that you don't even consider possible- reconsider. Maybe finding a career, or following your passions, interacting more with family, finding love and friendship; the list is endless. If you don't have a goal, if you don't see a purpose, just trust me on this, hold on. Keep trying. There is hope. Take it one step at a time, try not to overthink too much. Trust in yourself.

For any problems you may encounter in life, there is always a solution. Suicide is a permanent decision to a temporary problem. It will get better.

Well that's a question that has a different response depending on each one of our different contexts. As a general reason i would guess not commiting suicide avoids family members from suffering, but i know that some people don't have the normal family bonds, so maybe that wouldn't be enough of a reason. If that's the case then I'd suggest you'd look for something you'd like to do, that's realistic, a plan if you will, and try to complete it, live for your own reasons.

This is something the most valuable we can ever get, losing it is something the worst. No matter what is always better to choose living.

Well, this is honestly an easy and hard question. Its easy because there is always gonna be a brighter horizon eventually if you just keep looking forward and hoping. Its hard to answer because for everyone there is a different reason to live, but there is a reason to live. Some people just haven't found it yet, but when they do, they will be glad they lived, because that thing will be simply amazing, and will mean the whole world to them.
