Thanks for this post... it's something that I really need to remember right at the moment.

:bullet I want to see my little brother grow up and become an adult.

:bullet I want to someday see my nephews/nieces that I'm sure my siblings will have someday.

:bullet I want to someday have a family of my own. I'm still a little negative about this one- thinking it will never happen- but who knows!

:bullet I want to see my friends and I grow up, get careers, have families... all of the things that our parents have now!

:bullet I want to become an elementary teacher and hopefully influence some young people to live happy, productive lives!

I want to live to be a better mother for my daughter. When I watch my daughter I'm astounded everyday, on how beautiful a person she is. Everyday she shows me why life is worth living. No matter how bad it gets, I never want to miss watching her blossom into the amazing person she is becoming. I only hope I don't damage her with my problems, but hope she can learn from my struggle.

I want to see how it all turns out. :funky

There are many reasons I want to live....

I must have a reason being here becasue of all the times in my life i honestly should have been dead and yet I am alive today.....

My mother had wanted me to be an abortion....but thanks to my father I wasn't.

I am a drug addict and alcoholic and have od'd more than once only to be brought back again and again.....

I have attempted suicide on numerous occasions...not telling anyone i was going to do it because I really did want to die, but somehow someone always showed up in time to get me to the hospital....

I was abused over and over many many times in my life physically to the point I should have been dead but yet survived......

Among other things that have happened...so there must be a reason for me to be here....

I want to live because:::

:stars As stated above there must be a reason for me to be here

:stars My daughter needs me

:stars I believe that there is something I am supposed to do in this world

:stars Apparently God is not ready for me in Heaven yet

:stars I still have a lot in my life to accomplish

:stars My dreams have not been fulfilled

:stars Just because of the fact I am alive so I want to live

:stars Dying is so final

Because I want to keep an eye on my little brother

Because I hope that my sister will someday come to her senses and talk to me

Because I want to be there for my parents

Because I want to travel and spend a few years living in Japan

Because I want to write a book

Because I want to be a lawyer

Because I want to meet someone I can spend my life with

Because I like skiing

[beccabear]

I know I already replied here once....but at a Christmas program last night, I was given a new perspective on my reason to live....following is the words to a chorus of one of the songs they sang in the program...

*Once again this writer respects the fact that other's beliefs may differ from that of the writer.*


:stars "We are the reason that He gave His life. We are the reason that He suffered and died. In a world that was lost, He gave all He could give. To show us a reason to live. He is my reason to live." :stars

I feel that I have a lot to give to this world. I feel like there is something I can give to this planet, that nobody else can. That something is my caring, my compassion, my love, and my patience.
Maybe I can do no great and amazing things in this lifetime, but I can do a lot of little things, filled with great and amazing love.

Theres a lot in life I want to experience. I want to experience love so deep and wonderful, that marriage and children seem the only way to express this love... I want to experience triumph of getting my degree in college. I want to experience that look on my mom's face, the day that she sees her first daughter's wedding (or maybe second, if one of my sisters beat me to it!). I want to experience childbirth, for better, worse, or indifferent. I want to experience growing older, and having wheelchair races with my husband when we're in a nursing home. I want to experience grandchildren someday.

There is so much I want to do... one lifetime doesn't seem nearly long enough... but instead of getting down on that fact, I'm just doing my best to fill up each day with things I enjoy, and make me so happy to be alive.

I want to be there for my daughter- not just physically, but be there for her in all ways. That's why I work at making me a better me!
And I want to enjoy many more years with my husband, and hopefully have another baby to love.

[sunray]

Because I want to be a doctor ... but will probably settle for paediatric nursing I think.

To have a child ... sod the husband, that can wait! :grin

To see if everything I *think* is going to happen with my future ... actually does!

To prove myself wrong in my negative perceptions of me and the world.
