Justifying staying alive to myself.
Not saying I'm suicidal, but I'm increasingly losing my enthusiasm for living compared to when I was a kid. Used to have all these aspirations for my life and how I'd make a difference, now I've just accepted apathetically going through the motions until I die.
maybe think about like how much stuff there is actually to do? like in tasks or in things you could do
and then realise that even a full human life is not even a drop in a bucket to do all of this
so that there is no reason to not be alive, since beeing alive will like never get boring
It ofc depends a lot about what you find intresting, but like lets say you are into reading, there are so many books to read. And even if you read all of them (intresting ones), there are other languages, which you can learn, to read even more..
Or like just get linux, and try to set it up perfectly, this alone feels like it could take a lifetime btw
I don't have a justification I just am
