"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

Nothing in particular. I guess a hope that something could change, and a fear of no afterlife.

The idea of not dying alone.

As unlikely as that's looking...

I have things i must do because it seems i'm the only one who can. I have things to learn, a story to write, and a world to change with a colossus of knowledge in a digestible package of fiction.

My primary motivations to live are:
#1 science i must uncover for the sake of the future
#2 a story i must write for the people of the future
#3 seeking happiness in the form of things unattainable (hence delving in fiction & fantasy)
#4 anime and moe - this stuff has brought me back from the depth more than once with it's unending purity, happiness, and cuteness.

The hope that all my dreams will actually come true one day. And that maybe there is a reason we're all here. Our reasons are all probably different though.

Oh, and the fact that if I killed myself, I'd be bringing a lot of people down, especially family. That's mainly why.

I prefer.

Life without living isn't a life. One cannot choose the manner, or whom they are born. But they can how they will die. How one dies can show how they lived.

at this point idk what else
im thinking i should find something though

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

Nothing, really. I just exist, go through the motion and happy that every day that passes by is another day I don't have to live again.

My motivation? Adventure, I guess is a word for it. There's a lot of places I want to see, people to meet, and wonderful experiences that I have yet to have. I don't want to leave this earth without seeing most of it or without making a difference, even if it's in just one person's life.

Much like @PrinceOfFiction, for me it's essentially new experience, as well as improving the things that I enjoy. Then again, the world is filled with so many things to experience I do not really expect to be able to see/experience most of it, but it does motivate me to do as much as I can. I must however admit that I don't really go out of my way to "make a difference". I do the little things like recycling as much as I can, but I do not believe in the least that it can offset my carbon footprint. I enjoy interacting with people, but I do not stress over making a difference to someone's life. If it happens, it happens, but if it not, I still want to make sure that I get the most out of my limited time here.

I live mainly for two reasons:
1) I'm a coward so I can't kill myself
2) I don't want other to soffer because of me so I'll keep being the one in pain

those were the serious reasons, now comes my secondary objective:
I want to see a video for every existing fetish in this world (keeping it legal though)

and here's the reason I had back when I still believed I could achieve something in life:
I wanted to make people's days better by giving them emotions through my voice acting, I wanted those emotions to be remembered and people to feel everytime like the first; didn't care for my name to be known though
