Spite for the razor in my wallet.
Millions of years of evolution.
Substanz abuse, my Cat and I'm think to much about how some people would feel if I go
The fact that I'm still on this planet
The simple joys in life. My relationship with my hubby, cooking a good meal, having a decent cup of tea, reading a good book, there are so many reasons to enjoy life.
The promise of a hot cup of coffee in the morning.
In general, guilt for the people I'd leave behind.
At this immediate moment, blasting "What a Time to be Alive" by Fall Out Boy in my headphones at work is doing the trick.
Caffeine and suger.
I enjoy seeing the fruits of my labor. My family depends on me. I'm optimistic about the future.
I am overly insured i think. If i died my children would be set for life.
I don't want to die but I really hope whatever's after death is better, or at least non existent.
They want you more than they want $.
People trying to get me to second-guess my doubts that there's anything to keep me going.
