***TW*** Reasons to Live :)
So I've been seeing these videos of a girl who's struggled deeply with emotional issues and worse. She made a video series about reasons to live <3
So, what we're going to do is make a list of reasons to live, especially for those who are really struggling... This post may even save lives and we aren't even aware of it <3
I'll share a few I found online:
* There are things you have not yet learned.
* You could take yourself to a bed and breakfast or fancy hotel for a night or two instead.
*Who would be friends with your best friend?
*2027 may be very different.
*Your dog needs you.
*Because you have hope in the future.
*You have never played guitar in a field of wild flowers.
Please keep adding to the list! You never know who you'll help <3

I’m adding a taglist to start, but this post is open to absolutely everyone! <3
Because you existing may save someone's life someday <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I once found this list online, and changed a few words to meet the guidelines.
*****Trigger warning*****
100 Reasons why
1. We would miss you.
2. It's not worth the regret. Either by yourself, if you failed or just simply left scars or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you.
3. It does get better. Believe it or not, it will
eventually get better. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the rainbow.
4. There's so much you would miss out on doing.
5. There is always a reason to live. It might not be clear right now, but it is always there.
6. So many people care, and it would hurt them if you hurt yourself.
7. You ARE worth it. Don't let anyone, especially yourself, tell you otherwise.
8. You are amazing.
9. A time will come, once you've battled the toughest times of your life and are in ease once again, where you will be so glad that you decided to keep on living. You will emerge stronger from this all, and won't regret your choice to carry on with life. Because things always get better.
10. What about all the things you've always wanted to do? What about the things you've planned, but never got around too doing? You can't do them when you're de.ad.

@fossilfellow
I have to say, I’ve been having an insanely hard time lately. So I was highly skeptical, and I couldn’t necessarily agree with all 100 reasons. But there were a couple that made me laugh.
So thank you.

Love is precious 💛

Im writing a book like this 🤍 its really slow progress cause mental health, but its basically a book about me yapping about love and life. I dont know if ill ever finish, because sometimes love feels unreachable and life feels unbearable. But its something to hold onto. Kind of like journalling, but less personal?
Reason to live? The fact that youre reading this and searching for one. Because, despite everything, a part of you says wait.
And— well. If youre going to give up eventually, why not listen to that part of you and wait a little longer? Life may surprise you.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Because nobody who has ever taken that last journey has ever given it a five-star review....and would you really trust a trip with no stars?
Because there is almost certainly something you have forgotten to do, and leaving something unfinished is so unsatisfying.
Because it's too early to wrap up the show that is your life...the fans will be bitterly disappointed if there is not another Season.
Because the butterfly effect of your smile making some else smile who makes someone else smile who makes someone else smile...needs you to get things rolling.
Because even if there is one millionth of a second of doubt, it is worth taking a second look and re-examining.
Because leaving breaks hearts...and you aren't a vandal are you?
Because every second of every day of every year something new and wonderful happens/is invented/is created/is said, sung, or written/is shown....and that is an awful lot to miss out on.
Because as outlandish and remote a possibility it may appear to be to you, you might very well be the person who saves the planet...so please don't ruin your superhero origin story before they have even made the movie franchise and associated merchandising deal.
@BastionKnight
Number 3. For my friends on here who have been struggling (you know who you are)...
I would be SO sad and distraught if you were gone... You don't even know :'(
So please stay alive and let's be friends! Life and love really are worth staying for <3
My two kids, I wouldn’t want to take the path of taking their lives
Because you'd never get to find out how your favorite book series ends <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
No joke, this is something that worked. Not book series, it was a show I'd been watching for about an year. When I got mentally low and decided "no more" I delayed the "no more" so I could watch the season finale.
After the season finale I had the strength to find other reasons.
There is no "silly" reason to stay.
I love this <3
