The reason I choose to continue living is that I only have one chance to inhabit a mortal body in this world so I’d like to see it through for as long as I can. What’s yours?

Cheers, mate.
Bad times tend to pass. I find myself forgetting in the moment sometimes and yeah, life is frequently enjoyable in lots of different ways, so I try to remember that.
I’m intending to build a more frequently enjoyable life. I may have to do some surgery before I’ll be able to forget things in the moment though.
Life is interesting. Even on the most mundane boring day I can entertain myself in my thoughts. I don’t really get extreme mood swings like when I was a teenager. No matter how sad I am it doesn’t feel like the world is over. It’s enjoyable to exist from the small things like sun shining on my skin to the milestones.
If my life ever changed and I was struggling with no chance of getting back on track I would consider changing my outlook.
Because why not? I’m alive by default, and I’m too lazy to change that.
because dying is painful!!!
Death scares the shit out of me.
Plus, I’ll get there eventually. No point in rushing.
I’ll get there eventually
Wow, the hubris is real. Ever heard of impostor’s syndrome? Because you obviously don’t suffer from it
what else ya gonna do? passes the time.
Honestly? Not sure. More afraid of missing out than anything else.
My niece is starting to get old enough that, even if I leave a note asking them to tell her I was in an accident, I think she’d catch on. We’re not super close but I’m not sure what it does to a kid’s psych to learn people in their family can do that. I have VERY strong feelings about people who refuse to protect children, so unfortunately I’m here for a while.
sunk cost fallacy. i’m in too deep to stop now. really, this is how i manage everything. once the smallest amount of time has been invested in something there’s no stopping til i see it through.
have you tried gambling? you might really enjoy that one
noooo, never. because i know myself i have a hard rule to never ever try gambling, casinos, and the like.
My boss would be really mad if I tried to not come in for that long
Because I know how much my funeral would suck
Living is fun and I have people I love and care for deeply, that make me see the world through alternative angles that deepen my appreciation.
I thought I’d just travel a bit and do nothing until I’m broke before I end it, but life was great then. Now I’ve sacrificed 10+ years trying to save some money for who knows what. Got to make it worth the sacrifice before I go
