I live for a promise that I made with my dead grandma!! ^^

And maybe for some people!! ^^

I live for myself.
My wants, my goals and my needs.
A lot of those things involve others, but all combined it's down to me. If I want someone else to be happy, then my happiness depends on that.

I want to live for God, who created me and loves me. I guess I need to trust Him more! ♥ :)

I honestly don't know.

I've been wondering that a lot lately.

I guess I live for myself, as selfish as it sounds. I don't know if I believe in an afterlife (and if I do, it's certainly not like heaven and hell). All I know is that I want to make sure I'm done living before I die.

I don't believe in suicide purely because I feel that if you're going to die anyway, you mind as well enjoy life.

I try to live for Jesus...C:

I wouldn't say "still wandering" and it might sound negative, but I don't have anything to live for.

But I'm here, and I exist. Everything comes and goes, like the dinosaurs. I've felt this way since I was a kid - I'm only here because I was born, and I'm only still here because of civilization (kind of like how pets live longer than wildlife).

I'm not unhappy with this, but I think that's the way it is. I'm here. :) Every living thing is worth something. Eventually there will be something to take my place. ^_^;

I think I live for my family and friends. I know that sounds cheese, but they are the ones I would worry about if I knew I was going to die for whatever reason. I think that is how you know who you live for. You have to ask yourself if there is anyone you would feel bad about leaving behind. At least that is what worked for me.[/i]

I guess I am still too young to actually answer this question. I do not think I will ever know until I am dead.

I honestly don't really know the answer to that question.

I would like to give the nice, convicted, Christian answer of God and his purpose, and at a time I would've said it, but I don't really know right now. I can say it, but if I'm honest and look at myself, I don't really think that the two quite match up. I can say that I would like to live for those things, but I don't think it's actually happening.

For a period in my life, I lived for this one guy--well, not really for him but the challenge he represented. He got up in my face and got personal. It was a very changing experience. I learned a lot then, but it took a long time to change. And because of that challenge, even though I lost contact with him long ago, I can see most of my actions leading back to that. It was a rather revealing moment. I had thought that I had convinced myself to give up on him and forget about him, but my subconscious clearly had other ideas. Every single thing I did after for those two years after I lost contact was still all about him.

And I felt like life was a lie.

And then I stopped living for him.

I don't know if I feel better about it. I don't know what I'm living for now and I'm wondering if living for him was really such a bad thing. But it made me feel strange to realize that I was doing everything for someone else that didn't really care for me--he probably would save my life if I was in trouble and he was right there, but most people would do that for anyone. He probably doesn't even remember me anymore.

As for now, I'm just sort of wandering around. I don't know. Maybe I'm looking for something to live for?

I think I live for...well...life. I want to do things and, when you're dead, that's it. You can't do those things any more. So I guess I live to live, to enjoy myself, to be happy and hopefully bring happiness into my friends and family's lives. I live to have fun, I guess. I don't know, it's a hard question to answer. Like someone else said, we probably won't really know until we're dead or on our death bed, and by then it won't matter. xD

The question is: does anyone ever really know for sure what they're living for?

I think that what one lives for changes as one grows. It's sort of a parallel to water, I guess. And that's how I sort of see life, too. Like one giant river. Everytime something happens in your life it adds it's scenery, etc to the body of the river and changes it's flow and course. That's probably why most of us don't turn out to be what we wanted to be when we were little.

Anyway, currently I'm living for my future. For the thrill of the ride down my own river. That's what makes life so exciting.

I live for my best friend and my boyfriend, for the most part. There is very little of me that wants to live for myself. I haven't really lived for much of anything until recently, and was really suicidal when I was in high school and even a couple years after I graduated. I haven't been in an especially good family situation since I was little, although I know it's a fuckton better than it could've been.

But yeah, for the most part I just live for two people.

I live for my boyfriend because he means absolutely everything to me and he's never let me down. He cares deeply about me and I know it, and he does everything he can to make me happy. When I'm not happy, he's not happy. When I get sad, he tries his damndest to cheer me up, and if that doesn't work, he tries even more. He never lets me stay in a bad mood, and he always knows exactly how to say things.

I live for my best friend because she's so damn awesome and once again, she means the world to me. I got her into Jrock and through that we have more memories to even be able to count. I rely on her for a lot of things and she comes to me for things also. Sometimes it seems like if there isn't one of us, there isn't the other either. We try to be together as much as possible. It's pretty damn awesome.

What do I live for? Right now, my only (truthful) answer can be "I live for dying." I don't have a romantic partner to live for, and my parents have three other children to worry about besides me; as a matter of fact, I feel life would be easier on all of them if I were, in fact, dead; my mother tells me otherwise, but I know they would heal after my death. Therefore, I do not have them to live for.

My best friend insisted that I'm the only reason she even comes online anymore, so that she can talk to me...but I know that, even though her friend from literal babyhood isn't talking to her right now, they'll figure out a way to talk to each other, and I'll no longer be necessary...though, of course, she says otherwise; she's too blinded by loyalty to say she won't need me. Therefore, after she no longer needs me, I will not have her to live for.

I'm working my way toward becoming an Audiologist, but I don't find enjoyment in the knowledge. It's only for the money I will gain in that career that I'm doing it, and because I would empathize with my patients. If, however, I were to die before I reach my goal, no one would notice. Therefore, I do not have that to live for.

But you are here for a reason you know! :) God made you for a specific reason, even if it isn't clear to you right now. THink of the people you affect every day with your life?
