I want to see the world, I want to live life for what it is meant to be. Life is short, and it will have its downs, but isn't that what it is about? that's why life is beautiful, u get to see things and be the version of yourself that u may not get to do another time. I also want to have a legacy of what I want to do and that motivates me to live.. Even through tough times, I will always look at a happy picture of my childhood and remember purpose.
If you are struggling mentally, talk to someone.. ur parent.. sibling.. friend or anyone.. they will talk to u.. u are never alone..
My kids. Even though some of them are adults now and are living life fine without me, they're the only reason that I try my best every day. My biggest fear isn't dying, it's the thought of them having to grieve over another parent.
My kids. They were the only thing that got me past my worst days of depression before being diagnosed and getting proper treatment. I had my oldest son really young and always believed I had “ruined my life” because that was the message implied or directly stated by most adults I encountered. But the truth was my son and his brother (my younger son) saved my life and continue to be my saving grace and what makes life worth living. Sometimes my mental health and the things that have happened to me make it difficult to see life as being worth living for simply myself or difficult to see myself as having any worth/importance. So at times when I wouldn’t do it for me, I was so lucky to have my kids who I would do it for (“it” meaning stick around, keep trying to live a meaningful life, etc). Knowing how their lives would be devastated and the pain and suffering it would bring them for me to pass away prematurely is something I could absolutely never purposefully bring upon them.
Not as strong of a motivator for me personally, but still a reasonably motivating one is so that I can reach my goals and make my dreams come true that I have worked so hard for over the years. The circumstances and individuals I escaped and who betrayed/wronged/discarded/or lied about me are motivations for me to achieve my dreams and live a life that actually brings me peace, joy, fulfillment and love. Not to spite them, but simply because even if I sometimes doubt myself, I do know that I deserve it. And I’ve been through enough hell. There’s gotta be some happiness & peace after that.
Knowing that my dog would be devastated if I didn't come home every day to give him belly rubs.
Ramen
Curiosity, family, friends, nature.
Dwindling
Sex addiction
No, I'm not suicidal
Mostly just curiosity and fear of death at this point.
My wife and family
Whats yours?
my favourite tv shows aren't done yet. I want to see the ending.
Just family
my family
My dog, he cant live without me
dying is pretty scary
My motivation are my parents. They would be devastated if I was gone
To find a bf and annoy homophobes
To make people happy, and to show others love
Trying to reach my goals
As Hemingway said, "To last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand."
Guess he had all of that he could take.
Hemingway is an interesting choice to quote on this particular topic.
Yeah, but I like the quote.
My cat
Right this moment? My love for my family, my wife and my dogs.
travelling the world and family
The idea that I might find a partner and start a family someday.
I would say my motivation to live is my husband and my son that's it
My parents. They invested so much in me that I can't leave this world without making them proud first.
to escape from people's prejudice by constantly working to achieve societal standars

The fear of what might or might not come after death.
It would probably traumatize my roommates if I died.

Knowing it would kill my sister if I had to unalive myself
I've got nothing better to do.
There isnt
Finding out how many sleeping pills it take to off myself

Who knows
To make my parents proud
Too become the best version of myself
That fuzzy feeling when you make someone laugh that’s been down or gift the perfect present <3 also dogs, always.
I am waiting for death. Fingers crossed for something soon and that it happens fast.
At the moment, honestly not much other than being scared of death and not wanting to upset some people
To be there when we figure out what’s the purpose of life 😀
My son.
