30 Beautiful Reasons To Keep Living Today

I don’t really think a traumatic event in your life or let’s say, depression, is the only reason someone may feel as though they don’t want to go on in life anymore.

Actually, I think there are many reasons that may lead someone to feel this way. Such as: lack of purpose, low-self-esteem, feeling empty, as if life is one continuous cycle of nothingness, embarrassment about where you are in life compared to others, etc, etc.

The list can go on an on. 

However, I find having a list of reasons to keep living, even just for today, can remind us of how precious and beautiful life can be, even in the midst of our pain.
