Many of us have those moments where we are down and feel like we shouldn't even try to do something. For myself it happens more than usual lately however be that as it may I always learned even at a young age to pick myself up. Having my father pass away when I was three wasn't exactly easy and was tough to deal with seeing other kids having their dads around. I just dealt with it and as I grew older I faced more and more obstacles with relatives dieing, losing pets and friends as well as some of my dreams. However through all of that I learn to dust myself off and keep on going.

What drives me is several things from having sheer tenacity just to exist in this world to wanting to exist just so I can tick various people off. :nuke:

So what is it that drives you in this world that makes you keep going even though you may face that brick wall?

Love! Cheesy but true. I'm very lucky in that I have a wonderful family, and amazing friends. If something goes horribly, even tragically wrong, I know I've got people to help me through. Or, if something bad happens to them, I know I've got my part to play in helping them.
I know that even if I fail spectacularly (which I often do), my family and friends won't turn their backs, or scorn me, or hold it against me, or laugh at me (unless the fail is a faceplant, in which case they definitely point and laugh, but they do help me up at the same time, so it's all good).

I have actually pondered suicide but I just say to myself "If you kill yourself now, you won't know what Grace thinks of you."

Living forever drives me. It's worked out beautifully so far.

That, and my bucket list isn't completed.

Bits of string and lint which is mostly composed of cat fur...

So that sleeping cat that coughs up hairballs and causes other mayhem.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to work quite well

The fact that in my lifetime we'll hopefully encounter aliens. That's about it . My girlfriend does help though, and so do my family and friends. Also life generally isn't bad. I'd rather be a whale though.

I live because I'm alive.
