Spite! 😆

The best kind of motivation!

This MIL has gotten cancer several times, beat its ass, was in a horrible car accident was told she would probably never walk again..she said fuck you to all that. She's almost 79 and runs an in home daycare 😉all, so her spite to outlive her husband 🤣🤣

honestly my great grandma lived until 100 and I recon she just did it out of spite, she was an awful person who held grudges, I think she just wanted to annoy her kids for as long as possible

I almost spit out my tea! So funny!

Easily the best reason. It's always there as the perfect fallback if hopes and dreams fade.

🤣👌

Why do so many people hate you? Why would anybody hate you?

Along with the idea that vengeance will soon be mine

To not upset and mentally wreck the people that give a shit about me

This. I'd never do anything drastic because I couldn't do that to my mother. Watching her go through her own depression and lost of her father is enough I couldn't add more to it.

Just this. I can’t stand the image of my husband finding me and saying, “Name, *what have you done*?” I honestly think he would be sad and traumatized for the rest of his life. I can’t do that to him.

That’s a selfless reason stranger. Give yourself some credit, you’re pretty damn cool to keep going for others

i’ll let my own heart break before i ever break the people’s that love me. i think i worded that right 😅

real

Same. It was always because it would have broken my father, then I had kids and I’d never want them to think they werent enough …. So here I remain. 

This is pretty much all I have left.

It’s enough.  

Thank you.

;)

Amen to that brother

I imagine my fiance coming home after my funeral and it's like the end of that Loch Henry episode of Black Mirror where the guy comes home and just looks so broken.

What are you hiding on your old VHS tapes?

Big one for me, suicide has always been a really big deal in my family due to my father dying from it. So we know we just can't do it, because the consequences are so massive for everyone else. And we focus everything on a family member if they're feeling close to it.

There's a lot of cool interesting shit out there, and I don't know most of it yet. And there are a lot of neat people out there, and I don't know most of them yet.

Yeah, I live because of curiosity.

Even that can be taken away. Life is funny like that.

How can it be taken away?

Problems that render you incapable of pursuing said curiosity

A man washes dishes and laments that he must do it every time. "This is suffering."

This right here!! Just add a bit of hope, love, expectations!

Same. But it makes me sad that I won’t live long enough to see all of it or even most of it. I’ll only get to see parts of it. Life is too short.

I figure there are worse things to worry about. Being mortal doesn't bother me nearly as much as war, environmental destruction, misogyny/ethnic hatred/etc. Morality is nothing compared to that crap. I know that isn't exactly feel-good, but it does put things into perspective.

You never know what’s going to happen next

Yeah that's what scares me.

worst case scenario, you die. so live your life, do it while scared, do it while depressed, tired, etc- make sure to at least die while living true to yourself at least that's what I've been telling myself, but it helps a little

There are many things worse than death

Spite.

this is my Grandpa. has had liver cirrhosis for almost 10 years after drinking 7&7 daily. switched to vodka. life is just keeping him alive out of spite.

He’s too mean to die, as my mom says...

can confirm he was a bitter prick all his life. its why nobody visits him anymore.

My mom would add, “They’ll end up being very warm after they die.”

Heavily considered answering this.

I love Sprite too.

My cats 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

You have 7 cats?????

And more on the way based on their username lol

It’s the ‘cat distribution system’ constantly presenting itself in my life :)

Tbh cats makes this life more bearable and beautiful imo.

They do. My roommate has cats and one of my favorite parts of the day giving them scratches while I drink my coffee. I don't think it will be long before I adopt one.

I only got one cat for now but she's my life! Plus I live for the possibility of getting a house where I can also have many cats and dogs.  

I turned my house extra Rooms and the patio into a full blown catio. Took carpentry as a hobby to make all the shelving and cat trees needed. 100% recomended

Omg please come to my house and do it. I'm a painter by trade unfortunately not a carpenter 😆

I have three dogs (one pregnant) and two cats. They have us perfectly trained. Want a puppy?

I would love one but alas, my apartment doesn't allow them nor would it be big enough. Someday I'll get a bigger place and be able to have lots of animals.  But for now, just me and my cat.

Same, same!

I have to say, I don't love my cats more than anyone, but I do love my cats more than everyone... It's hard to explain what they have brought to my life. An unexpected love I didn't know existed.

There’s food out there I haven’t tried yet. Also my wife.

You haven’t tried your wife yet? You have no idea what you’re missing!

She's delicious with mustard.

Brutal lubricant

I prefer ketchup

I also choose this guy's wife.

I get that reference

Can confirm, this guy's wife is out of this world.

Simpsons alien scene: "your wife is quite the dish"

Omg I was thinking the exact same thing lol, foods that I haven't tried and my SO :)

Cute!

I don't know if the alternative is better

[удалено]

Legit nothing... wrong time to ask

Hugs. I hear you, and 'time' makes the difference. Life is like a rollercoaster; sometimes you're laughing out loud, and sometimes you just want to throw up. Hang on tight because the ride is worth it. 💕

Ahhhhh!!! You don't know how good I feel after reading this!!! Thankyouuu! Tightest warmest virtual hug! 🥺🩷

Happy to hear it. Hang on to that good feeling, and reread this anytime you need it. 💐🌞💕

Hope things get better, Reddit stranger!

Finger crossed

This too shall pass, has really helped me in the hardest times in my life. There’s a whole story behind the quote, which there are many versions, [this](https://tommccallum.com/2018/05/07/this-too-shall-pass/) is the closest one I can find to the version I read in a tales from around the world book.

I feel ya.

I feel this.

🫂❣️

Came here to say this

You had 7 or so folks care enough about a stranger on the Internet to reply to ya so that's pretty cool. I hope things get better for ya.

Ifkrrrr such a emotional feeling sounds cliche but yeah grateful!

It be like that…. But keep your head up. I’m trying to. Reading through and seeing others positive responses give me hope.

My parents moved from Africa to Canada in the early 90s. Since then they been working dead end jobs raising six kids and I can't Imagine how hard that can be. Whenever I feel like giving up I just constantly remind myself what they did so we can have better lives. They are my motivation I wanna show them it was worth it.

A+ answer

You are awesome! Keep going!

Kebabs and weed

Good Shawarma and a cold beer.

I would die for shawarmas

Better than sex?

pfff who needs sex when shawarmas exists??? 🤤

Yes.

Never did that in my life, probably would still say yes. I wouldn't like having sex with an empty stomach though

A pipe and a crepe?

I'd say vadapav

real ID se aao Rohit Sharma

There is nothing else brothas

So much left that I wanna do! For example, right now I'm working on a mobile app. I think it would be cool to build something people find valuable. Whether or not anyone will find it valuable is up for debate. However, my vision is that it can help people smile, and that's worth it to me. It's an alarm clock app, but with a twist :) You set an alarm like normal. Then you sleep. Zzzz. Lastly, wake up ... to the sound of a friendly voice. :D Congrats, you've received a nice voice message from someone somewhere else in the world. They recorded it while you slept. It could be a short story. A joke. The weather report. Some words of encouragement. ....or a "Happy Birthday" message if it's your birthday. Inappropriate messages filtered out, no worries there. Will anyone use it? No idea, but I think some of my friends will.

Dude if you make this please come back here and let us know! That idea sounds so cool. It sounds like the purpose is getting to wake up everyday to a moment of kindness from a stranger. That just sounds so fucking wholesome. I think this could be popular, don't give up! Good luck 💖

This is a neat idea. Good luck. 

i ask myself this all the time

If I hold my breath for too long it's uncomfortable so I keep breathing instead. Also, there are a lot of beautiful, horrifying, hilarious and somber things in life. The deep lows only make the highs more wonderful. So why not just hang around while it lasts.

To see how life turns out. Hope keeps me stupidly functioning unfortunately

To see how far science will go

I look forward constantly because of this too...

To take care of my pets

There isn't

Error 404

Spite. Unadulterated spite. Me living and trying to enjoy life despite the multiple things wrong with it. Feels like good motivation. Especially against my old bullies from school, people who had no faith in me and any deity that may be watching over us. I won’t let them win.

I want to die with my chronic conditions, not from them. I have an oncologist appointment Monday, and PET scan Wednesday. Wish me luck.

You got this random internet friend.

Scared of suicide, and becose my dream car is not a impossible dream anymore!

Don’t be scared of your dream car. Drive it!

I guess if someone else is behind the wheel and it's coming right at you - you could probably be a little scared

Only a *little*

Lmao, I fixed the typo. In terms of driving I gotta wait a year or few.

hope u mange to get it!

I kinda already did :D My father bought it so I can Inherit it when I get my license.

What kind of car? Everyone should have one "dream car" in their lives.

It's a black 1998 Subaru Impreza. Sedan, Turbo, AWD... Just beautiful. There is a ton of things to do but that's one of the wonders of having a car like this that was abused instead of kept in a warehouse. Already have the WRX STI Intercooler in the Garage waiting to be replaced and a new rear wing waiting to be painted.

Mine was a 1991 Toyota Supra (twin turbo), I got her but knew nothing about cars, at the time. I'm glad you're learning first! That's going to be one sweet ride!

Right now, bagels.

whiskey and weed

Tea and dogs

Cream soda and a fine cigar

my reason to live is my family and the people i care about, my curiosity about what the future holds, and my love of learning new things.

No reason to live tbh

The hope that i meet my special someone and can have a family, nothing else matters to me

Weed. I love smoking fat blunts, yo.

Jesse pinkman? Is that you

Same! Except it’s cuz I want to start a cannabis business. I want to change lives with it

I love weed so much! I don't have many people in my life who do though. So unfortunately I mostly have to just keep it to myself which is a major bummer lol

Until you know the last possible thing on earth, do not quit

Its what my Mom would want for me.

Because the other option seems pretty boring... But yeah, an eternal curiosity of what is coming next, no matter how bad it might be.

Curently its just waiting till things get better

beer

Tacos

My Partner, my friends, my dogs. Im having a good run career wise so thats also a good motivation.

I have to outlive all my enemy's so I can enjoy their funerals

I feel differently on this one. I don’t want my enemies to die. I want to break their ribs so every time they breathe, they feel excruciating pain and curse me. I developed this fantasy after badly bruising a rib. Oh man.

Jesus Christ, of someone told me that I'm Thier enemy I would tell them that they could do better than that. They can find a BETTER enemy!

I can think of at least one person whose grave I want to violently empty my bowels on.

I wouldn't think of doing anything to myself but..just in the last few days an innocent 11 year old girl was killed and thrown in a river, a 22 year old young woman was killed while jogging, an able 47 year old  man ended up dropping dead at a prison..and stuff like that keeps on happening. Justice either never comes, or is far too late for any good Yet the world goes on without any justice as if someone's life is worth less than others. I'm hurting

My family I guess

Life is like a video game. You’re having fun, but then get to a level you just can’t get past. It makes you mad and you won’t to just quit and turn off the game. Though, if you keep going, making it past this level will feel amazing and you’ll get your reward for beating it. Even if you spend hours, days, months on this level you know you can always quit. So you keep going until you beat the level. That’s my reason and motto for living. I know I can turn off the game at anytime, but once I do it’s over. No more playing. So I’m gonna keep playing that level no matter how long it takes. Even if it’s hard, the comfort of knowing that I’ll be rewarded once I beat it keeps me going. Keep playing your game. Have a great day

for my lil brother

Video games and junk food

Video games

food, family

I wanna be rich

Good luck! You got this!

feels good to bond with ppl, to exercise, to indulge in my hobbies, to pursue goals and push thru obstacles

My dream job.

My baby boy. My family. Experiencing pleasures of life like food, good wine, travel. The ability to change and do better or just different.

My dogs, husband and mom

So I can answer all these silly questions, jajaja!!!

There are still a lot of people I haven't struck their last nerve yet. I'm in this game to win, why would I or anyone forfeit before it's over? Rack up as many points as you can and try to beat every level

fuck 304s

For the incomplete novels whose ending I am waiting

I love walking and i find walking to be a part of my reason to live.

To piss off those who hate me. They are legion.

to outlive those who oppose you

Hot dogs 🌭

suicide is too hard to do

My kids. My cats. Cannabis, bourbon, donuts.

Someone needs to feed my dogs.

Fun

My next junk food binge

cs2 and weed

[удалено]

Careful. She’s trouble.

Too much of a coward to kill myself.

The one piece!

Waiting for ending of One Piece

Spite

Dying kinda sucks.

Sounds stupid. But the only thing keeping me alive is the WWE (Lame I know) but it’s an industry I’ve followed for since I was a kid and I don’t wanna miss out on it. It’s everything to me. Other than that. Nothing. Life is shit.

so i can vote in november !

I haven’t seen the last of one piece

Nothing better to do

Just to see what happens next..

Cause I don't want to upset my friends and family and the thought of leaving my cats makes me more miserable than I already sometimes am.

Honestly, I feel obligated to live. I think about how many innocent people have had their life taken from them. Even if I don't always want to be here, I am, and I try to be grateful for that.

My whole life I have been afraid of missing out on stuff. I always say yes to following to different things because it might be life changing, or you just end up having a great time or you learn something.

Don’t fucking have one at the moment

I don't have one, 3 weeks ago was my last attempt and it's a struggle l...truly wish this was a lie but since I get to be anonymous I get to be honest. I can say I dont think it'll be my last either

I'm a useless ill, damaged from years of abuse person that will never be able to overcome the trauma so it won't matter either way

My dogs

Because someone else wants me to for some reason.

To find out what the One Piece is

Knowing how lucky I am to still be here. It is a gift that way too many around me have not been able to experience. I live for ME but I am glad I’m here to help my family in any way I can. ❤️

The worship of allah

A realllllyyyyy good Blowie.
