What are your reasons for continuing life? What makes you hop outta bed ready to make the day your bitch?
For my entire adult life it’s essentially been going to work so i can have money to get high. But about a month ago I quit everything (even cigs!) hoping that having a sober brain would give me some clarity and motivation, but i still find myself falling into the same thought processes and not doing poo poo all day:(

So GBS, what are some things that help you keep on truckin’ on this doomed earth?

I like improving myself. Working out, continuing my education, that kind of stuff. I used to play a lot of video games but I'm just not that interested in them anymore.

e: and teaching my nieces and nephews about the world. They're still young enough where I can amaze them pretty easily.

Pretty much cause if I didn't it would upset a handful of people I care about. Also cause I figure if I keep going there's even odds that we destroy the world while I'm still alive and getting to see the end might be interesting.

I can fit 3 whole bud light cans now, ask me how!
nothing matters to me and it's essentially a very freeing sensation. The whole point of having a peaceful civilization is that you don't have to think about poo poo or do poo poo or care about poo poo. i'm currently enjoying a post industrial civilization where I can travel 45 miles in air-conditioning with zero effort. my very recent ancestors had to worry about getting stabbed with arrows and poo poo. I have to worry about filling up my hard drives with too many videos. my ancestors had to run around all day and do poo poo. I sit on big comfy pillows and suck down nitrogen mixed with oxygen. I eat as much as I want to never get fat. nothing matters to me because nothing has to matter. it's a beautiful thing

I have none really, but I seem unable to die. All a loving aching gut wound and cancer managed to kill was my bank account.

I know this is a v basic answer but I went from welfare and MediCal to having a career and my entire vision of grandeur growing up for the last fifteen years was being able to have my friends over and feed them and hang out and I'm finally able to as of the last 30 days and it's the greatest feeling in the world

Existence is a short gap bracketed by eternity on either side. When crunchy hippie types say that you are the universe observing itself, that is absolutely true - you are born of the universe, made of the universe, observing the universe, ever so briefly.

The fact I want to eventually finish my ~fantasy novel~ despite how poop it might be, and the idea that I might be able to make society better in a minute way.
Oh and finding a sweet heavy girl.

E: Also, duh, the delight of seeing all my online friends day by day and supporting them as best I can. Support is free, and feels good.

Got a light, handsome?

Guitar. It's probably the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I like that it has a real tangible sense of progression, where I can play things now I know for sure I couldnt have done when I started. I also find it endlessly thrilling to be able to pick something up and make music with it using just my bare hands. Its one of the few things in life I can say I honestly, truly enjoy doing, even though I'm still kinda poo poo at it

I have personal goals and stuff - kid, career stuff that would be rewarding, writing, I dunno, a nice little house or something.

But I also feel like there's a good chance that the things about our societies that we grew up feeling were immutable will in fact fall apart and re-form, and I want to be able to weigh in with everything I can muster on re-making society into something that'll let us humans continue on this planet without a ticking clock to doom hanging over us the way our generations have.

I feel like big concepts like liberation require a lot less mental work and a lot more dumb physical/commitment/sacrifice work than is suggested by the way they're written about. You can be dumb and contribute positively to big things. That "80% is showing up" idea. So I wanna be there for poo poo.

If I got like, killed in a car accident or something, I'd be lying to my dogs when I said I'll be back as soon as I can be.

I can't lie to my dogs except for telling them it's gonna be okay when they're dying.
