What's Keeping You Alive?

[hollyberrytea]

I have a really general answer.. instead of bits and pieces..

But life is keeping me alive.

All the experiences to be had, all the people I could meet. Even if some crappy things happened to me (and a bunch of people here, too) doesn't mean it's time to give up a life worth living. And I know people truly care about me. And I know people would cry over me if I died.

(Plus the uncertainty of death bothers me as well. What happens when we die? I don't know. I'm not religious. I don't have proof. So I might as well live until I'm old and have fun learning and growing. (: )

The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others we know not of...

My 17 month old nephew is what keeps me here. He is my favourite person in the whole world. There's a PostSecret card floating around the internet with a picture of flowers and the saying "One day, I hope to have the courage to tell you that you saved my life.", and every time I see it, I think of him. I want him to have happy memories of his auntie, not sad ones.

When I want to give up and feel like dying, it's because I feel like I just want to live my life, and this disease keeps getting in my way.

So.. hope and faith and dreams, and my loved ones

God,nephews/niece(future ones too), and self-will.

Ironically...(or maybe not?), that soliloquy probably has a hand in it too...It's been stuck in my head (on repeat) for a very long time now...

Actually, I'm really enjoying my job at the moment, and learning heaps of new stuff, about people and new things. It's a personal goal that I have managed to achieve, and it feels pretty good. Also, I live to serve my darling kitty.

Because seriously entertaining suicide will only bring more suffering.

A need to help others so that this feeling doesn't continue to perpetuate (also drives my healing). The small glimmer of hope that prospect gives me.
