Reasons (362)

Due to recent events, I thought a blog post was needed with a list of reasons to live. Suicide and mental illness are real issues that need to stop. Hopefully this list will remind people why life is so beautiful.
Reasons to live:
1. That moment when you're in the car with your friends and the music is blasting and you realize how much you love them.
2. The smell of taking a walk after rain
3. Eating puppy chow
4. Fresh sheets
5. When you wake up in the summer to birds chirping
6. Old middle school songs that you know every word too
7. Lunch dates with your best friend
8. Sunny days and 80 degrees
9. Beach days in the summer where you get sand everywhere but you don't care
10. Boating
11. When your cat comes and cuddles with you
12. When you come home and your dog jumps on you
13. Hearing old stories from relatives
14. Hot chocolate on Christmas Eve
15. The first snow fall
16. Your birthday
17. Getting older and things changing
18. When you lease your first place and get to decorate it how you want
19. Getting to know your parents way better than you already do
20. The feeling after a good workout
21. The feeling after a win with your team
