What Keeps You Going

[Hope69]

In one word for me : hope. I know what wellness feels like, I want to feel that again.
my kids: love my girls to bits and I want to remain a part of their lives
dreams: I've always been an adventurer and want to be fully present for more
Future: I've spent a good deal of my life looking for a feeling of family and community, I want to know what its like to feel connected to and supported by a community.
Peace: when it comes my time to say goodbye to this life, I want to be at peace with myself and whatever happened in the past. That may sounds morbid, but in other words I don't want to die with anger at what was

Also Hope: hope that if I keep trying I can make the world a little better, and a little safer, or at least lay the foundation for someone else to build that work on.

Curiosity: There is so much that I want to learn, understand, build, teach. When I'm happy I feel like a child, I feel free to play and to choose my own fate. Even if those moments are rare, they are worth seeking out. They give me strength and a sense of control over my life.

Inevitability: when I am in the worst place in my mind, when I think dying would be a relief, I remember that no matter what, death will come to me eventually. I might as well be patient and use the time I have well. Maybe that's not the most healthy way to think about it, but it has saved my life more than once.

Connection: feeling a sense of being a part of and in harmony with whatever is in the moment.

Kindness: this keeps me open, expands my receptivity and connects.

Communing/Belonging: it's rare that I experience this, when I do it makes me feel that much like the poplar tree in my local park, I'm just meant to be here!

Great thread:)
