Because I want to outlive my enemies.

Who is going to change the smoke alarm battery?

Good things can’t happen anymore. You might also say that bad things can’t happen either, but if it’s over then there’s no opportunity at all. Life can change as long as it’s there.

A lot of life is about perspective. I have a checklist, of things that make life worth it for me. They’re gonna vary from person to person, obviously, but when I get super depressed, I go through my checklist in my head. I have cats that depend on me and I value their wellbeing. I have relationships with people I care about and want to see. (and kids I want to see grow up) There’s still things I want to learn, places I want to see, and things I want to do. Small things, too, like wanting to see the end of a show or enjoy a favorite food. Life has it’s hardships, but it also has a lot of things we get to enjoy - and I want to be strong enough to live through the hardships to enjoy the good things. Idk man it all probably sounds kind of cheesy, but watching the sunset brings me a lot of joy. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth living.

You can’t piss off the haters if you’re dead.

The MOMENT you do, inevitably the world will start getting better.

I would advocate for tuning out of reality over suicide. Move to the middle of nowhere, cut off internet, spend your days chilling and farming. You always have the option of reinterpretation after stuff improves.

If there are people who care about you, it’s not only selfish but also cruel. All you’re doing is passing on your pain to them.

Because you have a destiny and a purpose way beyond your current comprehension and it is so much bigger than whatever misery you are feeling at any point in life. You have to find what that destiny and purpose is, believe me, because otherwise it would only be a massive opportunity squandered. Let me explain - you are the universe itself, so incredibly lucky to be able to come alive, with an opportunity to experience and appreciate the universe itself, there is a much bigger connection you have to the stars and to all that has life. If you are true to yourself and chase what your heart desires and remove all the noise, you will find your purpose, also called self-actualization. Not to mention you are living in the most comfortable, connected, beautiful time any species including humans was ever afforded. On separate note, it is very understandable and valid if you feel like shit given the current affairs, but if you believe me, this had to happen, and this only means better times will be here sooner rather later.

Id rather die for something bigger than me and my mental anguish if im gonna knowingly off myself.

Ive lived through too much shit to make the weakness of the day take me out.

But I’ll go when I wanna go too. But it’ll be me saying “my time here is done” not in pain but acceptance and peace. Not despair.

Can’t let that shit win.

I think Albert Camus’ Myth of Sisyphus addresses this somehow.

You can always end it later, so stick around a little longer and see how things play out.

My apartment will fine me if I don’t bring the trash cans back inside before 9PM, so I gotta be alive for that.

this is what your enemies would like to see. don’t have enemies? make some

Food tastes good

Sunsets are awesome

Some people are worth being around

You might mess up the attempt and end up worse off than you are now

Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place
