I look forward to seeing my boyfriend on the weekends. No matter how tough life gets, we lean on each other for support, and for me, that means a lot.

the thought of a magical fantasy taking me away, keeps me going.
the thought of things getting better.

Hmm~

My baby brother and my dogs get me through the day. No matter how bad of a mood I am, it goes away when my brother laughs or smiles, or just does something generally goofy. Or when he sees me after I come home from school or work and he tries to say my name and then runs up to me with his arms wide open for me to pick him up. (he's 17 months old) and my dogs always lay on my bed and snuggle with me, even if they lay themselves in the center of the bed

That is a hard question. Anyways, What makes me want to go to school is the thought of my friend. Because I don't see her often and it's pretty sad because she once told me she probably would stop going to school and just her GED. Though I don't know her mind as of now. o.o; If she changed it or not, idk. ><

((I hope this isn't too old for me to bring back.))

Anyway. What kept me going today was the idea that I could come home and take a load off. Though it didn't work so well, it kept me going in the mean time.

hmmm well only college is kinda making Sora feel down and giving up, but then Sora remembers the goal of getting a career with the help of the college, so Sora strives for those A's and whanot..........sometimes XDD

I know this might sound a little predictable, but my boyfriend keeps me going. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be as happy as I am to get up in the morning. Him and friends. I know that when I get up in the morning to go to school I will be seeing him and a few of my best friends who always manage to find a way to make me laugh and make my day better, even when it's raining (:

Hm. Not much of anything really, I'm just weird and persistent for no real reason. I just keep going because... well, I dunno what I'd do if I didn't.

all the inspiration I need is in front of me- every morning I wake to my kids chirpin in my ear :3
I pretty much live like a modern snow white- I'll spend my days in the kitchen cooking/cleaning, singing in my kitchen while baking cookies and brewing some tea with my kids circling my head :B

and just all the experiences I've gone through, all the people I've seen die- I want to live for them. I can't give up for them.

The times I've spent in the hospital knowing that the next breath I take may be my last- The girls I've met in my time as a hospital inpatient- the lives I've touched, the countless people who I have made smile... It just makes me feel like I have a greater purpose to serve. It's not really about me either

What reminds me at my darkest moments would be all the times I or someone else is happy, laughing, smiling. It helps a lot if you tend to get easily hurt and only think pessimistically :P

Well, what keeps me going the most is everything around me....lol, yes literally XD like, once you start thinking that you can't find meaning in almost anything, you start seeing the world either in a really pessimistic way or you start noticing the smallest things, or both can happen at the same time. Then you start thanking being able to see all these wonderful colors , feel all these different textures, etc. :P

and 3rd of all, MUSIC XD like many other people, I seriously love music :)

Ohhh man a cinnamon roll sounds nice! D:
I think it's mainly the idea that I have a long life ahead of me, and that the mini depression I'm going through is just because I'm a teenager. And that someday I'll probably be cursing my younger self for not doing more and living more while I still could.

And... all the foods I haven't found and thoroughly investigated yet. xD;
I may be missing out on some quality stuff yknow? hahaha.
I guess that's what keeps me going.

That's a really good question, I have never been asked that.

I guess what keeps me going is myself. I'm really hard on myself because I want to prove to everyone that has doubted me and the past and still continues to do so that I can and will be something, I will get through the tough times of a minimum wage job, working 100 hours a week, making crap money, going to college, etc etc etc. I want to come out on top. And that's my plan. :)
