Life is a long, irritating, painful slog. The only things that seem to make it worthwhile are virtually impossible to obtain or achieve. Under these circumstances, I cannot condemn anyone for taking their own life; indeed, there are times when I think of suicide as one of the only really rational actions of which a human being is capable.
some things that make life worthwhile for me (an incomplete list):
ReplyDelete--good food
--good art
--really long walks at night
--some sunrises. admittedly not all of 'em.
--the ocean and the stars, for similar reasons
--chocolate
--epiphanies
--community
--communion with strangers (albeit rare)
--finding out new things about people i thought i knew really well already
--finding out new things about myself
--the magical resilience of plants and people
--your friendship
