I could write alot of reasons to not live right now. But I think I need to make a list of what keeps me living instead.

1.) My dogs. Who would take care of them if I wasn't here?

2.) My sister. She's more screwed up than I am and she needs me.

3.) BBQ chips sprinkled over strawberry/banana yogurt.

4.) Funeral costs. We have enough bills already, I don't want to add to them.

5.) Things may someday get better.

What's keeping you alive?
 
Jadebear,

Is it ok to have laughed at one? Ok two. The funeral cost thing set me- sort of an Euyore sentiment, and am not at all sure what to do with the bbque chips over strawberry anything! it's a very nice thread with quite serious implications so do not mean to make light of it. You must just have a WAY with words!

All the expected things are keeping me alive-the children, a grandson, the color of the sky right before the sun goes down, hoping to heck Britney Spears doesn't have any more children-the usual. Also it's that next page keeping me here at the moment. This dam book is so long already, and apparently a thrill a minute so closing the thing before hanging around for the next chapter seems a bit of a shame.

What a good thread-I hope it was ok to laugh a little there.

I'm just trying to cheer myself up....and think of some positive things....

I thought of some more things....

6.) Watching the deer eat the apples off my tree in my front yard.

7.) Desperate Housewives... I love that show, Bree is my favorite.

8.) Spite. Just for spite, I will stay alive .
 
Number three is pretty awesome too.

OMG BBQ chips sprinkled over strawberry/banana yogurt is the shit. I can't get enough of it. Recently I've added grapes and sliced apples to the mix and it tastes so awesome.

Btw, what else is keeping you alive james? Help me out here....
 
Yeah, number 8 definitely when it hits rock bottom. This event almost took our son, it would be totally ridiculous to take me or even threaten to.

Dirt keeps me going. Having my hands in it. Think I could roll myself up in it and think I'd gone to heaven.
 
Dirt...LOL. Never heard that one before. I don't like getting dirty at all.

9.) I know When I die they will not fix my hair like I like it. People would see me with shitty hair. And they'd probably put an ugly dress on me too.

10.) I have people that I need to piss off just by being here.

11.) My T....I would hate for him to feel like he didn't do enough to help me. He really tries to help me.
 
I have to see my kids graduate from high school, esp. as I am their teacher and have already put a lot of work into it. No time to give up now.
 
curiousity....me too. Stubborness...definitely. I have spent so many years trying to keep myself composed and trying to seem normal. **** the people that made me the way I am. Why should I let them win?
