Hello everyone.

I feel that there are certain times in one's life when he or she needs to gain some perspective, re-examine things. And so I ask, what is it that you are living for? Why do you get up out of bed everyday?

I emphasize "you" because I don't want some tired, redundant philosophical conjecture... Instead, I want to hear what truly keeps you going in life.

Is it your job? A hobby? Someone special? Perhaps the idea of someone special?

Whatever your reasons, I want to hear them. And just maybe, your comments will help me - as well as others, better grasp some perspective in our own lives.

Everyone came to this world to accomplish one mission.I think that i am here to help my family and my friends(knowns and unknowns).everyone has dreams and everyday we fight for that dreams. some are easy and some are not.Dreams don`t disappear,they only are replaced by others dreams.

Guess I have a goal in life that I'd like to reach before the limited human lifetime's up.

I keep going because I want to see something new and learn something new everyday.(things that are not from the classroom.)

I live because I still have a lot of things I want, need and must do.

Probably for me, is chasing a dream. I'm trying to accomplish a dream I had (probably won't, but it is fun to try). Also, I'm looking for someone (not like Naruto or Natsu lol), she is very close to me, probably I will make some progress this year

To reach my goal! and what is that you may ask? Well I have a dream to gain knowledge and thus wisdom by living my life to the fullest. Every opportunity is a learning opportunity, of course there are days where life seems boring and you just want to jump off a cliff instead of lulling thru another day but I think all we need then is a little risque fun like bungee jumping or a two week mountain hike to get the wheels turning again.

hobby and pleasure. if i can obtain pleasure while learning and working, that's fine by me. if you're gonna live just to die in the end you might as well enjoy every second of your life.

I live because I do not want to hurt the people around me. Plus, I still to go see Venice again in February, go back to Germany and Japan. I have a short bucket list, but I think I can finish it quickly. There are also a few anime I want to see the end of.

I don't know, never thought to much of it, but I would say, the things that I look most forward to would be playing my bass, hanging out with my wife(she makes life very interesting) movies and anime, certain friends, music, family. When I say wife, friends and family, I don't mean it in that cheesy I would give my life for them way, I mean it from a selfish perspective; they fun to be around, I'm accepted around them no matter what. The cheesy part of that is I know my existance does the same for them.

Hobby! With that said, I'm a bit scared of my future now. My life is equally divided between Anime, Games, Plamo, and Life itself. I don't know if I'll ever grow up and man up but for now Keeping them balance, dividing my time between those 4, is my reason for living.

I am posting this not for others to read, but for me to put my thoughts into words. Firstly, I live for my mother and my sisters, who I adore. Also, like any girl my age, I live for love. But most importantly, I live to create. I don't know how to play any instrument, but I create music. I've never been taught how to draw or paint, but I draw and paint. I have no knowledge in literature, but I am clumsily trying to write a novel. All my life has been about trying to teach myself to create. Maybe I'm not doing it right, but for me that's enough. And as I go on, the desire to learn and create becomes greater. Now that I got to uni to study architecture, my goals have changed a bit, but I am still moving towards the same direction. I want to become a great architect, so that I can create not only buildings, but whole realms and dimensions. These are the words of an enthusiastic girl that makes no sense. But these words express what my life's driving force is. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone but me. Peace out!

...I almost want to say "nothing," but I guess that sounds a bit too negative. I've been thinking about this question a lot these past few ...years... and I've yet to come up with a concrete answer. I have no specific reason for getting up every morning--I don't particularly like anything or anyone enough to seriously say that I live for it/them. I have nothing, in short, that makes me want to keep living. However, I also have no reason to stop getting up every morning (ie: die) either. I'm not in any sort of chronic pain, I'm not confined or oppressed, and I have an overall comfortable life. ...not that the absence of pain is a reason to go on living. Kind of an existential impasse.

Anyway, to actually answer the op, here is a list of things that keep me going: 1. I don't want to make my parents sad, cliché as that sounds. 2. I have some vague sense of pride (or arrogance) that motivates me to try and accomplish something great--I want to write a book, specifically--in order to not only prove that I exist, but to justify my existence to myself. If that makes any sense at all. 3. If the end of human civilization is going to happen anytime soon, I want to be around to see it.
