last week,when i read this comment on a YouTube video REASONS TO STAY ALIVE: to have hugs that last more than a minute a smile from someone special melted chocolate ice cream on a hot day adventures with friends recovery stargazing watching a sunset laughing uncontrollably you’ve made it this far eating fresh baked cookies bonfires and hoodies graduation pregnancy and new life finding a person you love late night adventures overcoming fears dancing in the rain walking through the countryside making friends with nature life is beautiful movie nights foot massages Saturday mornings you have forever to be dead to be happy one day you’re beautiful you can make a huge difference on the world moving to a new place getting a pet new clothes at summer dancing without care picnics with friends long drives waking up late to prove them all wrong to love and be loved the ocean very loud music days out watching a concert/play reading your favorite book conversations that last all night to plan for the future to learn new things you are important Christmas morning someday the pain will end warm baths first kisses flowers in spring pyjamas after a hard, long day new bed sheets water balloon fights thrill of roller coasters meeting your favorite celebrities fireflies ice cream days spent outside the sound of water visiting a place from childhood all the places you’ve never been music whilst driving to look back at all the shit you got through buying new clothes meeting internet friends in real life to succeed to work in the career you’ve always wanted baby laughter sleep a hot cup of tea rules to break to help someone smiling at strangers dreams the last day of school/work taking pictures brownies bubbles water slides going on holiday to fall asleep on someone to be protected to grow to make new memories to look back on old memories to laugh at childhood pictures sit with animals and nature to be loved by a pet swimming on a hot day the first signs of autumn to binge-watch a series to live independently to get somewhere in life to breathe to grow so that you can say that you’re alive
