Your motivation for living?

[Pacific_Loner]

I started being somehow happy a couple of years ago, and living really great adventures, so I keep living because I know there is more of it coming as long as I don't let myself sink in depression and self pity ever again. As long as I'm having fun and not causing any harm I don't care what's the point of it.

(Well that's a lie, I care a lot, and think about it a lot, but I have to keep myself from taking it too seriously anyway)

Still looking for it...

It's a combination of survival instinct and trusting that God has a plan for me, and I know that plan is not suicide.

My motivation for living is two-fold. First, I don't believe I have a choice. I am living. So, I believe I better figure out how to deal w/Life and how to live my life as best as I can because the only other option is living Life poorly and being miserable. There are no other choices for me. From there, my motivation is to find that quiet place w/in that sounds a lot like inner peace. I don't believe the world is bad and I don't believe Life sucks. I think that Life is actually non-commital. Neither good nor bad. Just Life. So, I hope to grow and become someone that is at peace w/in. My motivation is that once I achieve this, I think I will be able to enjoy not only Life but My Life more thoroughly.

There are at times I fear I will run into the train tracks when the train come. I hold on to something tightly.

I keep thinking to myself that I just can't die. All that is given to me by my parents, God and everyone else would be such a waste.
I don't want my parents to experience anything traumatic.

this will probably sound sad and even pathetic to some but this is how nerdy/geeky i am about the stuff i like. i think about all the awesome movies, video games, and music i will miss if i were to die now.

There are so many really awesome things, beautiful things, and ways to feel really good that even if there's a lot of pain or distress I don't want to give the chance for those up.

My kid, my immediate family and my music. Plain and simple.

That does not sound sad or pathetic.

My motivation for living? I don't know. I can't kill myself, so I'm stuck here. ::

right now my imagination and hopefulness. Even tho im depressed and living in a nightmare I keep thinking there will be a positive ending and my story will get better!

To look at things that interest me. About all there is really.

More than two years out from this post now.

Looking at things that interest me is still a big one, the other is my husband. <3

The momentum of life. Just kind of aimlessly being carried with the currents. Hoping that my alternative universe that I've dreamed up one day collides with reality.
The thought that maybe I can beat these illnesses.....That's why I finally decided to see a doctor and take medication...maybe......just maybe.

God and my family i live with. if didn't have my two family members to worry about how bad they'd feel if i committed suicide, i might've already done so. i've thought about it several times, and have even thought of a couple of suicide notes. (i've had recurrent brief depression for over 6.5 years). God has kept me from doing it, and part of that is in realizing how badly my death would affect the two living with me.

on one hand: God, just let me die to escape everything in this world. on the other hand: no, b/c i have to take care of my mom and grandad.
