What's Keeping You Alive?

[Jade-]

Another thing keeping me alive....hemp jewelry, ripped jeans and Bob Marley T-shirts.....

Plus my new T-shirt I bought today....It says "how many licks does it take?" Do you remember the old commercials for tootsie pops? I have got to wear that shirt somewhere.

People that love me and care about me.

PB & J sandwiches. So comforting.

Books.

Frogs.

Rain.

Music.

- my dog
- my younger sisters
- the colour of autumn in the woods
- the thought that maybe if I one day get my energy levels back, I can use it for something good.

Knowing that eventually I will get through trauma therapy and become stable (hopefully). Then maybe my brothers and sisters will seek help themselves and live better lives if they see it's actually possible.

Thinking about writing my book. I can't write it if I'm not here.

The people on this forum that understand. The friends I've made here. And for not being judged for starting a thread like this.

Knowing that people on here are rooting for me.

Hi Jadebear

Great thread!

I think for me it has been pure stubborn pigheadedness that's kept me alive! I wouldn't give certain people the satisfaction of going anywhere especially when I know that's what they have wanted!:crazy:

I have to add myself to the stubborn list. But when stubbornness is just not enough.

My two cats.
A promise I made to someone
Rainbows
Sunsets
Mountain Dew
Fear of not having my funeral wishes being honored. I can't stand the thought of being in the ground all cold and icky with worms. Icky.
Vanity... I don't want people to see me with that icky make up they put on at funeral homes. Which is why I don't want to be "shown".
Naps... You can't take naps if you are dead.
Roller coasters. Not the emotional kind.
I don't want to miss out on the good half of my life... I had a T say that people's lives were half good and half bad... I want my good half already.
