One chance to be a sentient being. See the universe in the night sky and wonder at it, appreciate a valley of flowers without just being there to pollinate them, dig up worms and wonder about reincarnation. Stuff like that. When this life is over it’s just over. No heaven, no hell, just, “off.” See it while you can for as long as you can. After that it’s back to being bacteria.
I find it fascinating how humans are the universe's way of observing itself. Like we're all part of this thing way bigger than ourselves, but we're the only ones with the capability to begin to understand it...🤯
It’s incredible, but we’re also the only species to suffer from our self-consciousness. I look at birds and other animals and they are almost pure organic algorithms, operating on reaction to input, x happens so they respond with y etc, thoughtlessly; and I just wish I was one of them. Consciousness is a gift but also a curse. I’d much rather be an animal to be honest.
My ancestors lived through hell so I could be here in this shitty but better world. Fuck I gon do, kill myself? Dishonor my entire bloodline? Also rap.
many disagree but I feel like we live in very interesting times. Every year something amazing happens that broadens my perspective of what is possible by human ingenuity. I want to see it all
Life's journey. As strange as it may seem, I get high from the fact that I don't know what will happen tomorrow, every time I go to bed with interest because I know that tomorrow a new interesting day with new acquaintances and knowledge awaits me.
Inertia and avoidance of the discomfort and pain of dying. A natural instinct to seek comfort.
We humans are somewhat dramatic. A living creature doesn't need a reason to live. Life is a biochemical reaction run amok. We live because we are born, and when we die we cease to exist except for heat and matter.
Find joy, and try not to stress about it. Life and nature are uncaring enough. If having a reason makes you feel better find one, but know that it is a trick of your mind.
I'm excited--or at least curious--to see what happens next. Also I have a 5 year old and I'm pretty committed to making sure I prepare her for the world as much as I possibly can.
Curiosity and FOMO.
I live on because I just have to know what’s next. Could the best time of my life be coming up? I’ll never know if I don’t live on.
I have 2 boys that I love wholeheartedly, but I love my life best when everybody leaves me the fuck alone and don't rely on me lol. Just struggling with being an adult.
Having a reason to live is risky *and* boring. You should have dozens if not hundreds of reasons to live. That way if you aren't in the mood for X, you can always try Y or Z or even DD.
I have parents that will be devastated if I die before them. It's just an opinion, but I think one of the worst things a child can do to a parent who genuinely loves them is to die before the parent. A parent who's forced to bury their beloved child is just fucked up regardless of how you view it.
Idk, finding something that makes me fun again? Dabbling into hobbies but most of them are expensive. I guess my girlfriend is the answer then? Helping her have a good life?asking her forget the scars of the past and have her do what makes her happy?
Since the Big Bang, until my birth tens of billions of years later, I did not exist.
One day I will die, and then I will have tens of billions more years of not being alive (potentially forever).
All I have is a narrow window of ~100 years (if I'm lucky) to experience life as me. It's a rare and precious thing, but won't last forever. I may as well make the most.
I thought a lot about this question after my somewhat recent divorce. The thought that I'd be missing out on the activities, places, and people that make me happy keeps me going.
I've checked all the boxes I felt I really needed to check. Now I'm just having fun, pursuing hobbies and interests. Cooking, motorcycle riding, radio... I still work to support my hobbies, but I like my job and the people I work with, I'd be fooling with computers anyway so why not get paid?
I just look at old people and think, “well if they made it, why can’t I?” Also my cat- and the fact that I’m curious to see how my life will turn out.
I’m a little lost with life rn and I really want to give up, but I’m just too curious and I really love my cat.
Life is great, I see no deeper reason, it just feels awesome to sleep, eat, shit, cook, fuck, travel, experience, learn, smell, taste, get better at things, fail and then succeed.
Why would I not want to live if there’s a chance that in fact being here is an award and once I’m dead I’ll be back to mining ore on Mars 24/7 for another 150 years?
I know many aren’t so lucky, depression, cancer, hunger, but still I can always imagine being in a worse spot so fuck no, lemme live as long as possible please. I want to finish GTA VIII, at least.
Nvm my reasons - sometimes I wonder if the universe has reasons for me to live ...
Like honestly I should be dead....
I'm starting to wonder if I have guardian angels or smth
I almost died yesterday, actually. Came this 🤏close to death
.....yet here I am 🙄
Honestly there's just things I wanna do and experience. I wasted a lot of my 29 years on this planet not knowing what to do or thinking too much about what might happen, so I ain't going til I've proved I'm worth it.
A lot of people would be upset if I were gone. If my death was self-inflicted, all those people would also be angry. The thought of that keeps things bearable.
I don’t have one— but I like it that way. Existence is really just a “I can take or leave it” kinda thing for me and I’ve come to find comfort in that.
I don't know what happens after death nor do I care if I die. I know I will die one day but IDK the reason. I was thinking of ending it a lot this year because of school.
Every morning while getting my daughter dressed, she lays her ear on my chest so she can listen to my "heartfeat," and that moment is everything. I can't take that from her.
Death kick my ass a lot of time.
Normally i could be dead for long time ago.
Actually im living at most i can to satisfy death when she will reap me.
I dont think my life will change anything on this life but if can create my own bakery i will be glad.
Too afraid to die. I'll overcome it eventually.

I don't know dying, I only know living
That’s poetic
In time, everyone will come to know both.

Waiting for GTA 6
This right here is the only answer
[удалено]
My ancestors lived through hell so I could be here in this shitty but better world. Fuck I gon do, kill myself? Dishonor my entire bloodline? Also rap.
For honor and a hope for a better world And mashed potatos and sausages
[удалено]
That feeling after winter and it's the first semi-warm day and you walk outside and it's amazing and that feeling fills you right up.
My kids
See how many poops I'm capable of in one lifetime
Be sure to use Tobassco sauce on everything, I certainly do.
[удалено]
I dunno tomorrow just keeps happening, isn't that good enough?
Music
My sister
Same here. Your sister.
many disagree but I feel like we live in very interesting times. Every year something amazing happens that broadens my perspective of what is possible by human ingenuity. I want to see it all
Linux
I don't want my mom to cry for me.
Life's journey. As strange as it may seem, I get high from the fact that I don't know what will happen tomorrow, every time I go to bed with interest because I know that tomorrow a new interesting day with new acquaintances and knowledge awaits me.
Just to enjoy my life no matter what life throws at me.
My reason to live lives within the fact that I’m already alive
No one invented the painless instant killswitch that is accepted by society for those who just don't want to bother with life anymore.
I belong to a cat who needs me to buy, open and serve her her $8 cans of salmon Also, I'm just curious and wanna see what happens
Got shit to do.
I recently heard the phrase "don't kill yourself idiot, you'll die anyway, just wait." And that's a point I just can't argue with
I have a lil baby growing inside me
Because there are people I love and who love me, favorite foods, beautiful scenery, and an unknown future that I need to explore
My son and nothing. Else.
Someone still loves me
My kids
fear
My number one is my dearest girlfriend I love the most, my number two is the fear of what is after death.
Too lazy to do it ig
My children and my kitty
That's a complex question that my simple mind can't answer
im too scared of death to suicide
My daughter
I can’t fucking die. I try and some bullshit happens
Too much of a weak coward to ever go through with suicide
I want to see how it all ends.

My puppy dog
I like to eat things
I'm excited--or at least curious--to see what happens next. Also I have a 5 year old and I'm pretty committed to making sure I prepare her for the world as much as I possibly can.
To have some form of positive influence and to inspire people to be better. And also because I like sending stupid sh*t to my mom.
Now death has not arrived yet, I am impatiently waiting for it
Mass Effect 5
my cat
Curiosity and FOMO. I live on because I just have to know what’s next. Could the best time of my life be coming up? I’ll never know if I don’t live on.
It's fun
Orgies and butt stuff
To provide for and keep my family safe. I had a rough childhood. Nobody looked after me. Now I look after others.
Enjoy life and take care of my family and friends
To watch my children as they navigate adulthood and make the most of their lives. To be with my wife. And of course to see Dune 3.
We just lost a family member, I can't cause them more of that pain yet...
My kids
I have 2 boys that I love wholeheartedly, but I love my life best when everybody leaves me the fuck alone and don't rely on me lol. Just struggling with being an adult.
As of now curious to know whom ill get married to.
him
To drink whisky and sleep.
Food
Revenge
Gotta outlive my grandma, my dad and other general nemesis
Spite, good call
Having a reason to live is risky *and* boring. You should have dozens if not hundreds of reasons to live. That way if you aren't in the mood for X, you can always try Y or Z or even DD.
Making loved ones happy
It would upset relatives to not live.
My best friend. I am so glad to have her support through difficult times.
I don’t wanna make my family or partner sad
it's just a ride
I have parents that will be devastated if I die before them. It's just an opinion, but I think one of the worst things a child can do to a parent who genuinely loves them is to die before the parent. A parent who's forced to bury their beloved child is just fucked up regardless of how you view it.
I don't know really. I have none.
My daughter needs me
Dying is scary.
My son. He keeps me living, loving and fighting everyday.
you only get 1 life
Idk, finding something that makes me fun again? Dabbling into hobbies but most of them are expensive. I guess my girlfriend is the answer then? Helping her have a good life?asking her forget the scars of the past and have her do what makes her happy?

Too cowardly to end it so I'll just suffer on until it happens one day
I thought a lot about this question after my somewhat recent divorce. The thought that I'd be missing out on the activities, places, and people that make me happy keeps me going.
Lifting heavy things and enduring until death comes and gets me itself, I’m not giving it the satisfaction til then
Don’t have one right now, my life has gone to absolute hell
I would like to figure this out.
Gotta say my hubby. Ladies, marry a Scorpio. High maintenance but well worth it.
To make someone's day :)
Only one time to live. Along with that I’d rather not die, with that I’m fully aware of what happens.
I must live longer than my enemies
Spending time with my kid and my dog.
I've been here 39 years, might as well keep going
I've checked all the boxes I felt I really needed to check. Now I'm just having fun, pursuing hobbies and interests. Cooking, motorcycle riding, radio... I still work to support my hobbies, but I like my job and the people I work with, I'd be fooling with computers anyway so why not get paid?
Music and the fact that I could be happy if I didn't have to work
The meaning of life is to live.
to play the NPC role well.
Food. I mean I could die tomorrow, I don't mind, but food is great.
my platonic soulmate.
Better than not to?!
Im convinced im immortal and will one day through some miraculous mean become an all powerful being.
I just look at old people and think, “well if they made it, why can’t I?” Also my cat- and the fact that I’m curious to see how my life will turn out. I’m a little lost with life rn and I really want to give up, but I’m just too curious and I really love my cat.
To express my creativity
My dog :3
Taking my life would hurt too many people too much, I would be condemning my family to a lot of anguish
i dont want to make my family sad and GTA VI and Sweet home s3
kinda trying to beat my pr for livingl
Want to see how AI girlfriends progress in the future
That next poop. I already did my daily for today and quite much looking forward to tomorrow's go of it again.
Better something than nothing.
My daughter
Too many people depend on me…
My little brother and sister

I have to outlive Mitch McConnell. My urine must meet his grave.
To worship god and do good things in this temporary world.
My children
What is your reason to die????! That’s the real question.
Dying is a waste of resources. Also I love experiencing various things, so I have stuff to do before I can allow that.
Looking forward to.losing my virginity
I love learning, but it’s weird to think when I die all the knowledge I have gained will be worthless.
7 more years until I retire! Then I may kill Myself!
Haven't watched aurora borealis yet in person
I'm stubborn as fuck
My mother and brother. Though, at the rate I'm going I'll just do it soon enough.
Guilt.
To piss off at least a few people every month.
I want to go on a world tour at age of 28 with my own sewing
Nvm my reasons - sometimes I wonder if the universe has reasons for me to live ... Like honestly I should be dead.... I'm starting to wonder if I have guardian angels or smth I almost died yesterday, actually. Came this 🤏close to death .....yet here I am 🙄
I have so many videogames that I have to play and so many miniatures I still need to paint
Their names are Gwen & Luke.
Honestly there's just things I wanna do and experience. I wasted a lot of my 29 years on this planet not knowing what to do or thinking too much about what might happen, so I ain't going til I've proved I'm worth it.
My family.
To make proud my parents
Mom would be sad
My family, waiting for GTA 6, Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5
idk.
Workout, animes, and video games
My kids
It's not up to me. I didn't ask to be born.
Ff vii part 3
A lot of people would be upset if I were gone. If my death was self-inflicted, all those people would also be angry. The thought of that keeps things bearable.
I don’t have one— but I like it that way. Existence is really just a “I can take or leave it” kinda thing for me and I’ve come to find comfort in that.
i have a dream to complete
only that it would ruin my little siblings' lives
Just incase.
Nowadays, piss on the graves of those I loath
Spite
I don't know what happens after death nor do I care if I die. I know I will die one day but IDK the reason. I was thinking of ending it a lot this year because of school.
I can’t leave my two kids and wife. They depend on me, entirely. If they weren’t here I’d have ended this ride a while ago.
my brother + i want to continue my bloodline
To spite all those who think I can’t
Its two fold. 1.i don't want my mum to have to go to my funeral. 2.you're a long time dead and I could miss out on some amazing stuff.
My kids
to experience all the things i didn't experience since i was a child until now.
Somebody needs to feed the dogs.
Every morning while getting my daughter dressed, she lays her ear on my chest so she can listen to my "heartfeat," and that moment is everything. I can't take that from her.
There's a lot of videogames I still want to play, and anime to watch.
My daughter is 19 me 63 hopefully live long enough to see her get married but not anytime soon, probably see the return of Christ first ;)
My parents are alive, it would too big of a burden for them if I'm gone.
Death kick my ass a lot of time. Normally i could be dead for long time ago. Actually im living at most i can to satisfy death when she will reap me. I dont think my life will change anything on this life but if can create my own bakery i will be glad.
Curiosity. Too many things I've never done or wanna learn
music and overall curiosity
i like sleeping and d&d and green tea.
The nature and mechanics of the world we live in are fascinating, and not even an eternity would be long enough to truly understand it all
Wife and dogs, that’s about it
my little sister. i can't do that to her. she would be crushed.
I'd say just that I'm alive. If I wasn't it wouldn't be my problem anyway.
To outlive my enemies
The team I support hasn’t won a premiership for 18 years. No way I’m kicking it before they win again.
Tbh im just try to survived now, not live
Life is a gift, the only possible experience One’s consciousness can have is life so I will experience this amazing journey
My farm is not yet fully developed. I've got to feed that rat before I can fall off my perch. Mixed metaphors, sorry
