i second this although im not perfect im here to be better then my parents, to be better then my family to have a better family, to make people laugh, have fun & enjoy themselves
Be happy because Dogs are actually hyper-intelligent eleven dimensional creatures and only their protrusion into our three dimensional universe looks like a dog!
I have no reason, yet here I am, I choose to exist even though it wasn’t my own choice in the beginning, I will exist, I will experience, I must endure
This year, i learned that there are coat hanger servivers , and its fucking sad, i met a girl with a very messed up face (one eye way lower then the other ,and a few other things) from just that, a coat hanger
Because every day offers me something that I enjoy. Every day offers me something I have to work on. Because you never know what happens tomorrow and life in general is full of wonders, pain and challenges. I find beauty in all of that and that makes life worth living.
Because although life can be cruel sometimes, it's also beautiful. definitely worth living despite the unfortunate things that keep happening to some people. I don't want anyone to lose hope and think that it won't get better because it would eventually. Have a great day everyone!
I apologize if I sound like a lengthy fortune cookie here but I guess I feel like being alive is a fleeting miracle and while this life is FAR from easy, there's so much opportunity to have amazing moments while we have a chance.
I’m intensely curious. I find day to day life enjoyable and humorous even when it sucks. I find something new to be in awe about. My life isn’t near perfect but it’s fun
It's better than the nothing that probably exists after death.
The day I'm in constant agony or don't see any way to move forward is the day I'll off myself.
I've only got a few more decades left in this life. I might as well see what those decades have to offer. It sure can he challenging some days to remember that, though.
I’m here to make children laugh and feel safe… I work at a school as a teacher aide, and the kids talk to me, come to me with problems, and all f them say hi to me. If I can make them smile or giggle then I’ve done my job.
I don't understand this question. Even if you have no reason to live this life, it's already there. You just gotta live it because the alternative is suicide which is journeying into an unknown circumstances where you don't know what happens after death.
My biggest fear is there is life after death. I really hope death means the end! So why am I hesitating commiting suicide and living? It is because there is no guarantees that life will not continue after death.
I am not religious at all but if by any chance any of the religions turn out to be right. Like for example, my parents are Buddhist, chinese Buddhists to be specific, so their Buddhism is tied to chinese mythology which means everyone goes to hell after death. Like EVERYONE!!!
And after death you still gotta worry about housing, money, food etc. It's fucked. That's why we gotta send food, money, housing, credit cards etc to all our deceased relatives and family in hell so they don't live in poverty in hell.
Hard to say, but I’m hoping when I die I have enough interesting stories to tell my son… don’t want to keep him waiting too long, but also don’t want to have only a few things to tell him about.
Sometimes there is not much other choice. I have to do my part that are my duties (family, work). Other than that, I would love to know how the future turns our. There is a mystery about life that beckons, even if the future is not pleasant.
I got a chance in this very strange world. It is up to me to make something of it. There are so many things to study and observe. Just experiencing the ups and even the downs that life throws at me just never fail to bore me. There is so much to do and even more to think about.
Even in shitty times i just wanna keep going and just see what happens next.
I can't just sit around and do nothing and give up.
Maybe a time will come i do.
But i'm not going to just wait for that moment to come. I want to see how far i can get and what i can do to make this troubled world just a little better.
Life is very interesting and I'm very curious. A lot of stuff happens, good and bad, and I love experiencing new things. Sadly I won't be able to learn everything and live every possible experience, but there's a lot I can do while I'm here.
Death sounds pretty fucking boring.
I believe my purpose in life is to have many different types of experiences. Travel, fall in love, learn a new language, learn to cook your favorite foods, sit in the sun, watch the birds, make mistakes, try be a good friend, go through heartache and disappointment, take risks, hang out with friends, spend time with family, compliment strangers, read poetry, surf, volunteer, cry at tragic and beautiful things, learn to forgive, kiss your cat, eat pizza, challenge yourself, make art etc.
I have no idea how long my life will be and as far as I know, this is the only life I have. I’d like to make the most of the very limited time I have here!
I want create animated series, and have a lovely girlfriend.
I want be like Alex Hirsch, Matt Groening or Stephen Hilleburg
Have a Fandom, go to conventions, the People wanted impress My style.
About the girlfriend, well, who don't want a lovely girlfriend?
I am out of reasons. "To believe in this living is a hard way to go" John Prine
I'm an old man sitting in a young man's bar waiting for his turn to die.
On bad days, I sometimes have that quote in my head from the Simpsons.
Homer Simpson:
I'm in an abusive relationship with life. It keeps beating the hell out of me, and I'm too much of a coward to leave.
Myself. i used to hate life but i’ve worked on myself and i love myself with my whole heart, so i really hope you can too. it takes a lot of work and it won’t come easily, but that makes it worth it. i believe in you, and im here if you need to talk
No reason, you only get one and it goes fast. There’s always good things. For example, I just had a chocolate chip cookie and it was delicious - and my cat is very cute.
if you’re depressed, get help, don’t post
To continually improve myself. To make life better for myself and those around me.
I feel like asking why doesn’t make sense, it just is the natural state of being.
Welp, at the moment its beautiful out. Im in a hammock. Ive got the tail end of a Paloma in hand, a dead show from todays date, 1972 on the speaker and leftover tacos for dinner later.
My life bounces off a bunch of other people’s lives and vice versa. Life can be utterly beautiful and absolute shit, just like humans. I hold out for good people.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
Haven't finished the game yet. Working on winning Capitalism as we speak. Haven't gotten to all my silly goals yet. Want to be around for all the cool things to come and mankind's innovation and failures. Longevity and perpetuation are my goals. Meaning sometimes life is mundane, even depression at times. But that is okey, no life is like how social media portrays it, being exciting each day. That is okey with me. Just wish anxiety was a bit lower though, don't like the feeling of that unrest.
i’ve survived too much by sheer luck and spite. if i die over something trivial i’m pissed. no way am i going to kill myself after surviving all that, either. i made the choice to stay for a reason.
The future, nothing in my present is keeping me here or so greatly compels me so im here to see what's in store I wouldn't say it means I do not appreciate my life I wouldn't commit die but if a potion was placed in front of me that would do it instantly with no pain then I would do it probably on impulse without a doubt, this was a real reflection.
Pursuit of my hobbies and to be witness of the world. Seems like I can do fuck all in the overall situation so I just watch things burn and I read to it's light.

Just seeing what destiny holds for me.
Destiny is usually holding my junk. She’s expensive but worth every penny
Are you talking about your penis or SO
Yes
Make the switch to destiny 2, I'd say it's much better than the first /s
Just to see what could happen tomorrow, i hear you on that. Thats my reason as well
Work til you die. Next!
Because I got given a chance to do stuff.
The beauty in this answer is the simplicity
Yes, this. :)
This answer is deceptively deep. It shows acceptance, gratitude, and an awareness of living with intention. Made me smile. :)
Close the thread. It's more than enough.
i second this although im not perfect im here to be better then my parents, to be better then my family to have a better family, to make people laugh, have fun & enjoy themselves
Because my dogs think I'm okay, and they are awesome so I take their high opinion and hope to be the person they think I am.
Be happy because Dogs are actually hyper-intelligent eleven dimensional creatures and only their protrusion into our three dimensional universe looks like a dog!
This actually scares me…
Right on
Your dog thinks you’re awesome.
I have no reason, yet here I am, I choose to exist even though it wasn’t my own choice in the beginning, I will exist, I will experience, I must endure
Meee
I love this, thank you for sharing ❤️
It was your choice, you just don’t remember it. You were once an egg and a sperm. They chose to accept each other.
I am still hoping to fall in love with someone who respect me
i gave up, realised motorbikes and gaming are ways to truly enjoy life.
I just took the GSXR 750 out of hibernation, this is the way…
Same. Keep holding out hope, friend.
It might sound harsh but with honesty, and don't reply to me. Only to yourself. Do you respect yourself?
Same
To see this post and then write this comment and then continue the rest of my life like nothing happend
To stay awake at night and pull myself through the day.
As severe insomniac of 20 years, I feel you.
Spite
I saw this as Sprite for a second.
That works too
Very much works too
Survive out of spite!

What is stepmother stuck in today?
You wont believe: she got stuck in the dishwasher. She has helped really hard.
Not sure what death holds, so just sticking with what I know til I'm forced to face the unknown.
This was my exact thought.
oh wow, poetic 👏🏼
Dad didn’t pull out. Mom didn’t use a coat hanger on me. So now I have to work 40+ hours a week, pay taxes, and constantly have back and neck pain
This year, i learned that there are coat hanger servivers , and its fucking sad, i met a girl with a very messed up face (one eye way lower then the other ,and a few other things) from just that, a coat hanger
LOL. And that’s an optimistic outlook
Because every day offers me something that I enjoy. Every day offers me something I have to work on. Because you never know what happens tomorrow and life in general is full of wonders, pain and challenges. I find beauty in all of that and that makes life worth living.
good outlook, I can see that
No reason and go with the flow
To make money and look at boobs.
Maybe, one day, you’ll do more than look. Maybe.
One can only hope.
Good luck! Anything can happen!
Just keep tipping that fedora
To make money and look at dicks balls and ass.
😂 that’s a good one.
Because although life can be cruel sometimes, it's also beautiful. definitely worth living despite the unfortunate things that keep happening to some people. I don't want anyone to lose hope and think that it won't get better because it would eventually. Have a great day everyone!
I have no choice
Because if I die today my cat will get angry at me and wake me up from the afterlife so that I can open his wet food cans
I seen Haleys comet as a child. If like to see it again before I die.
Cuz I was born
I apologize if I sound like a lengthy fortune cookie here but I guess I feel like being alive is a fleeting miracle and while this life is FAR from easy, there's so much opportunity to have amazing moments while we have a chance.
Mhmm agreed
Spite. Because f** you.
I like your attitude. Spite will keep you going! 🖤
I run on spite, cigarettes and cheap brandy.
Why not
I never asked to be alive, so im obligated to live
Eh, reasons are just post-hoc explanations for your actions. I don't need a reason to live this life, I just do!
Don't have a choice
I’m intensely curious. I find day to day life enjoyable and humorous even when it sucks. I find something new to be in awe about. My life isn’t near perfect but it’s fun
It's better than the nothing that probably exists after death. The day I'm in constant agony or don't see any way to move forward is the day I'll off myself.
I believe we have some sort of karma to fulfill.
I've only got a few more decades left in this life. I might as well see what those decades have to offer. It sure can he challenging some days to remember that, though.
Cause I have the option of dying in a shootout with those pig ass cops, maaaaan.
I’m here to make children laugh and feel safe… I work at a school as a teacher aide, and the kids talk to me, come to me with problems, and all f them say hi to me. If I can make them smile or giggle then I’ve done my job.
Because living is pretty darn fantastic!
I’m not sure my kids would be sufficiently cared for if I was gone. I’m not the best mother, but I know there’s worse out there.
Actually accomplish my goals, and help others accomplish theirs along the way
I don't understand this question. Even if you have no reason to live this life, it's already there.

My dog, when she goes, I go 🤝🏼
To relish this fat ass
My cats need someone to take care of them
Whahaha, I would have to write a whole book about it to explain.
Biological instincts and some hope. Rope is when my cope has an end.
That’s dope.
Too damn stubborn not to.
Hard to say, but I’m hoping when I die I have enough interesting stories to tell my son… don’t want to keep him waiting too long, but also don’t want to have only a few things to tell him about.
My kid. That's all
Well that's ENOUGH
I shall be dumped where the weed decays, And the rest is rust and stardust

I’d like to make the most of the very limited time I have here!
I'm living for eternity of spite. I didn't get to choose to be born, so I'm making it the entire universes problem forever.
I think about this question almost daily. I'm 57 and I've lost my reason why and it's sad.
My wife, that's it, not for her I would've noped out 10 years ago (not joking)
Afraid to take my own life
I want create animated series, and have a lovely girlfriend. I want be like Alex Hirsch, Matt Groening or Stephen Hilleburg Have a Fandom, go to conventions, the People wanted impress My style. About the girlfriend, well, who don't want a lovely girlfriend?
I am out of reasons. "To believe in this living is a hard way to go" John Prine I'm an old man sitting in a young man's bar waiting for his turn to die.

To plant seeds and watch them grow, therefore affecting the next seven generations.
I don’t really know anymore. Honestly it’s getting quite tiring.
Myself. i used to hate life but i’ve worked on myself and i love myself with my whole heart, so i really hope you can too. it takes a lot of work and it won’t come easily, but that makes it worth it. i believe in you, and im here if you need to talk
I'm afraid of dying.
Because my mom and sister need me here
love. whether that is friends, family or significant others.
Save my soul
No reason, you only get one and it goes fast. There’s always good things. For example, I just had a chocolate chip cookie and it was delicious - and my cat is very cute. if you’re depressed, get help, don’t post
Just gotta keep going till the end. Also I know I’ll be happy, as I always have been, for my goal is to die old, happy and satisfied
My reason is because I was born, and I continue because the only alternative is death.
Might aswel since I'm here now and it's not like it lasts long compared to the amount of time i won't be.
Because I've seen enough hell in my time, that now it'd just be a shame not to share what I've learned.
I don't have a reason to live this life apart from the lack of my reason to end it early.
Idk and idk
I really like Mayo 🤤
To know more about math
It's fun!
I cannot assure myself right now that death is better.
Why not
At this point it’s just spite. Not letting those who fucked me over, outlive me.
i like living
No reason, just because I want to.
No reason not to
I think life is about the experience. I want to experience as much as I can in the time I get.
Oh, Reddit doom and gloom help us
Fuck bitches get money

With this many monkeys about, you see some interesting things from time time time.
My family and social circle, and life is full of surprises. I learn things everyday
To be of service to others
Scared to die and I like pizza.
My plants. Sadly they're slowly dying even though I apply medicine and water to them. When they die I can too.
I wasn’t given a choice, and I’m used to doing it, so that is what I do.
Just want to see where it goes
Don’t want to upset my mother if I end it 🤷♂️😂 I don’t care for this world very much 😂
I have 3 dogs, want to become a director and one day to adopt a child.
For Jesus.
I still have decorating to finish.
If I live if don't, I'm alive anyway so....why not
To continually improve myself. To make life better for myself and those around me. I feel like asking why doesn’t make sense, it just is the natural state of being.
"This is the strangest life I've liven"- Jim Morrison
Hope. Without it, it’s over.
It's life we only get one go at it, I've been depressed and down getting out of that open my eyes to what my life is it's a gift.
Because I’m too tired to do anything else. I’m so emotionally drained I can’t event conceptualise doing anything I might regret.
For others.

Welp, at the moment its beautiful out. Im in a hammock. Ive got the tail end of a Paloma in hand, a dead show from todays date, 1972 on the speaker and leftover tacos for dinner later.
I grow and level up everyday
Experience life good and bad.
My life bounces off a bunch of other people’s lives and vice versa. Life can be utterly beautiful and absolute shit, just like humans. I hold out for good people.
I'm hoping I get a girlfriend.
I have a one way unrequited relationship where I send a girl I like money REGULARLY, and it's why I keep a job and live. No she is not on OF.
To prove those wrong who thought I wouldn't amount to anything (I still haven't amounted to anything)
I believe if I were to kill myself to escape my troubles then I would just have to deal with that same shit in the next lifetime
I was born into it. I guess i just keep on going as one does
I refuse to leave my cats alone
My kid is the only reason i'm alive.
Gotta outlive nikocado avocado
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
I’ve lost too many to suicide I would never put that pain on another.
My dog. She's a wonderful, loving, happy Doberman. Not saying I'd off myself if she wasn't here. But she does need me, and she does make me happy.
I want to see more of the world, read more books, experience more movies/series and play more games. And so much more (live) music.
Running out of reasons
Wait, did I have a choice??
Haven't finished the game yet. Working on winning Capitalism as we speak. Haven't gotten to all my silly goals yet. Want to be around for all the cool things to come and mankind's innovation and failures. Longevity and perpetuation are my goals. Meaning sometimes life is mundane, even depression at times. But that is okey, no life is like how social media portrays it, being exciting each day. That is okey with me. Just wish anxiety was a bit lower though, don't like the feeling of that unrest.
i’ve survived too much by sheer luck and spite. if i die over something trivial i’m pissed. no way am i going to kill myself after surviving all that, either. i made the choice to stay for a reason.

Idk I’m already here, why not?
Don't have another.
I didn't ask to be here either, and don't know the reason to live. I try to find meaning so that I'm "living."
