What do you live for? What makes you get up every day?

I was reading American Pastoral and I'm now alternating between The Corrections and anything and everything by DFW.

I honestly have no idea, i was born into a really shitty position, stuck in life, getting no where, don't really see a potential future, the only hope i have is the point in where i reach such an existential dread that i don't pussy out in killing my self

You have a potential future, you just can't see it right now

oh gee, thanks

The hope I will one day have a beautiful gf that I love and who loves me. Also the hope that we can have kids someday. It's probably boring sounding but it is my dream.

The hope that things will get better eventually and the fact that I am trying to make things better and busting my ass.

Like most days I wanna blow my head off but I keep trying because I know there is a future without all of the current fucking garbage I have to swim through on a daily basis.

I mean it. Struggle is natural, you just gotta keep your head up and keep going. Figure out what you want from life on the long-term, then divide that goal into small achievable short-term goals. A vision for the future, that's what gives you hope

Honestly, curiosity. I'm endlessly curious of all facets of life. The good and bad. I want to experience every part of it, even if it's awful. I want to feel it. I want to know and understand it. I only have one life and I want it all. I want to die filled with everything, having everything I know I could get from life. I want to experience the throes of passion when I have a night out with my husband, and I want the quiet domesticity as well. If we divorce, then we do. And I feel it. If we don't and die together, then I feel that. I get that. Same with children, no matter how many I have. Or what deaths I see. Or what happens to my body. I want the joy, the happiness, and the fear, and the sadness and the anger. I'm hungry for it. I'm hungry for life. I affirm life.

I cherish the only life that I was given to me, no matter how it was given. It is mine. And I will live it.

I used to not be like this. I attempted suicide once. I still have a lot of the same problems. But now I look at them differently. They are just a part of being alive, and not something I am being singled out to suffer. Its just life. If I killed myself then, when it seemed like nothingness was better than tomorrow, then tomorrow would have never come. I would have never fallen in love. I would have never put my life together.

The end of your life is the end of possibilities.

If you are curious about this view of life then you can read more about it. Its the Nietzschean affirmation.

yo don't be stupid you only get four to five moments to be a hero your just haven't come yet bare with it a bit you live for the good moments and struggle thro the bad

swear I didn't steal that first bit from a deadpool movie

Cute Asian girls

yes!!.....and there coming off the assembly line thicc now days too...you got so much to live for just with that alone...

Every day's a new adventure even if it's not very eventful. I always have something to look forward to even if it's gonna be shitty

>What makes you get up every day?
Food, porn, music, having to pee...

pick up art of sum sort ,draw paint, or sumthing like that even if you think you'll suck it'll take your mind off it hopfuly try new things ....i always turn to art when I'm at my lowest I'm not that good but to just put it down on paper or canvas even if it was a mess always helped .....idk I'm trying to be helpful

This. My bladder is really sensitive and irritable and overall shitty, so I usually have to go right when I wake up.

THIS

I hope to one day incorporate my shitty life into VR and live blissfully in delusion.

why the fuck not, I’m the offspring of thousands of successful fucks.

The thought that if God existed he'd want me to get up and keep at it

I live for geomtary dash

I haven't killed myself yet because I'm afraid of the ramifications; ie. death and hurting my family.
I get up, go to work and do all the other obligatory shit because until the day comes when I do actually do it, there's still shit to be done and people relying on me.
Really wish I wasn't so afraid of the ramifications, though; holy shit I want to die.

hey user
used to be in your position
okay maybe i still am

but i’m sure you’ll find something that makes you sort of hopeful? know you didn’t really ask for the help but i know you’ll make it alright

>ramifications of death: dying
Made me laugh that. Don't do it.

Every morning I look forward to talking to one person. He lives almost 5k miles away and we’ll never meet.

>What do you live for? What makes you get up every day?

Stubbornness.

My goals: to get a good job, marry a good woman, and raise good kids. Almost everything I do is in pursuit of these goals.

The only reason I get out of bed is to get high

What makes you get up every day?

The fact that I'm capable of getting up for it. Its a pretty cool thing to go from asleep to awake.

The fact that I’m too much of a bitch to just neck myself already with the fleeting hope that things will get better

love you both anons
don't die yet
you've got white children to make :^)

The fact that the only way to win now is to get to a point where everyone is lousy with jealousy, and I certainly can't do that if I'm dead

Honestly don't even know at this point. I wan to say for my boyfriend but I think I would be lying (probably). I'm just to scared to kill myself.

Curiosity. The world is full of things I don't know about and I really want to know more and more.
And faith. I strongly believe I'm going to be okay.

And a lot of little things. The way my boyfriend smiles at me. His voice when he says "hey, pretty girl", and the way he holds me. When he reaches for me in bed. The way my grandma says my name when she greets me. My mom and dad. Sunday lunch with my parents. Saturday nights dinners with my friends. My best friend's calls when we're getting ready in the morning. Riding my bike. Sunday mornings. Late night milkshakes. Cold beer. Books. The feeling when I am done packing or tiding something up, and it's all organised and neat. New beginnings. The face people make when I cook something that tastes good. When a kid holds my hand or smiles at me.

I'm in the navy, so it's my duty to always get up in time. But i go through life to learn all i can. The universe is amazing and there's too much to learn for a sincke lifetime. I want to experience all i can. Life is hard, but it would be boring if it was easy.

Spite

Hope, and hope alone.
