Why Do I Keep Showing Up?

Why do I keep showing up when I feel like giving up, collapsing, shutting everyone out? Why do I keep being here, posting, fighting, sharing love, when everything in my life is fighting against me? When I feel like I don’t want to fight anymore… Why do I keep going despite gritted teeth and anguish in my soul?

How? Why? What’s pulling me to keep loving?

I guess we'll never get the answer to why we keep showing up for those we care about. I'm glad that you still keep on showing up, it could be a survival instinct.

You are so strong and very appreciated, and what your going through I find to be very relatable.

Sending love your way 💕

@jesusredeemedme2425 Sometimes when the world feels like it's working against us, we keep going because of resilience and a belief that life and love matter. We might tell ourselves we don't believe that but deep down our hearts say otherwise ❤️


Sometimes deep down maybe we feel that there's a purpose for the pain? That even though we're hurting and struggling there are still good things. And we can feel completely empty but still want to spread light and love because we know so many others are hurting too. The love you share is what keeps you here. That is your strength and your resilience. Maybe it's hope acting as a survival mechanism? 

It's exhausting to feel like you're fighting against everything constantly, but this shows that you are a fighter who is unwilling to give up. The fact that you keep showing up shows a lot of courage and character.

Despite the gritted teeth and anguish, you are a survivor....no.... you are a warrior. Your inner strength  is whispering to keep going...

You've a beautiful spirit and heart. You've shared and spread so much love and light with so many here. That love is returned to you tenfold ❤️

@jesusredeemedme2425 Sharing love ^-^ it's the love in your heart. You know the importance of it, you understand the kind of darkness the lack of it casts on everything, and so you try and try your best to be that little heart in someone's life 💗

You haven’t given up because giving up is stupid and you’re not stupid.

I love all the responses you have received. Every one of them was deep and sincere. Knowing there are people who genuinely supports you to the level where tge notion of you giving up, can be anxious. 

I’m really sorry that you are feeling sad. I wish I had the words that can turn it to joy. I wonder sometimes how can we still make it thru and lift people up when we feel so ill inside. I guess its in our nature and we can’t fight nature, can we?! We can’t spill poison when we spread cure. Your head is saying “why can’t I be selfish? The *** with everything” but your heart says “ kind words can make it to someone’s soul and could feel better than I do”. The selfless thought of being there for others is built within your core. 

Please take time to take care of yourself and wellbeing. You deserve all love you can get including your own. Love the beautiful soul you carry so lightly in this world when it feels so heavy on your shoulders. I’m really sorry that you suffer. It hurts me to know that someone in this workd is also suffering and hurting. Your pain is seen and your light is brighter Kiara. Please believe that 😘
