What are some good reasons to live?

[YourLocalSadGirly]

I don't mean reasons to not die btw. I mean reasons to live, not just exist. Reasons to get out of bed every morning and try to experience everything life has to offer. The person I loved most, my wonderful girlfriend, killed herself last week. She was my reason to live. I'm looking for anything else worth living for before I decide to just give up and ctb. I understand the irony of posting this on a suicide forum but honestly I feel like this place is the most accepting and empathetic towards suicidal people. Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day <3.

And for what I mean in the first sentence here's my example:
- Reason not to die: my family would be sad.
- Reason to live: loving and cherishing my girlfriend.

For me, one reason to live is Ravi the cat. He is so nice, loyal and relaxed, coming up to me for pets and purring.

dressing myself up, like a doll. i enjoy fashion and putting together outfits that i think are cute and make me look nicer than usual. as a bonus, i like receiving compliments from people i walk by. i am told sometimes that people recognize me just because my outfits always stand out to them (in a good way), and that's one of the best compliments i could receive.

i also enjoy the idea of putting my art and music out into the world someday.

Idk what's youre exact definition is and I think it depends on perspective, you can look at things like smelling the air after it rains as both a reason to not die as well as a reason to live, whether you look at it as just a continuation of what is or its own thing, that's up to you. Feeling small snowflakes fall on your skin before melting. Recognizing a good emotion that you associate with a simpler, nostalgia-blinded time. Many live for such small things, sometimes I do too.
