Honestly, I have no idea.

MATI streams.

I geuss harnessing the very essence of the cosmos too, but mostly MATI streams.

Pigeons are a big one. I don't have any obligation towards them, but their continued existence in the world brings me a kind of joy and willingness to carry on that I've yet to find elsewhere.

Also the expansive and existential joy of being able to observe the world around you, and to take in what majesty it all brings. To be little eyes in a great big universe is something special.

My children.

There are many things I get up for and tgat keep me going, actually - I seek joy and self-actualization and experience of the world - all that good stuff.

But the rawest, fiercest reasons for living are them.

I keep living because I want to live as long as I can. Not just that, but even if the world gets way shittier than it is now, I see no reason to just end it all when theres always the chance for things to get better. Besides if you end it all now you can’t see that better future now can you?

God said set forth and multiply. I took it to mean get riches and bitches. I like those things so I stick around.

The world is just a barrel-organ which the Lord God turns Himself. We all have to dance to the tune which is already on the drum.

Turning vulnerable kids based.

The hope for a family, house, you know, the american dream. Pretty bleak tho.

This, but also Despair is a Sin. So long as I'm not face down in a ditch, there's hope, and life may suck sometimes, but it's really not too bad.

I learned how to meow and use the knowledge to Communicate with my cat.

I can't remember who said this, maybe Trevelyan from one of the histories I've read; but the expression 'the purpose of life is to create something which will outlast it' has, admittedly, many interpretations. From something as simple as procreation, to writing an important novel. You could easily say it could be something much, much simpler than that.

I recently visited Norwich cathedral, and came across the tomb of Thomas Gooding. A virtual unknown, his inscription reads (above an image of a skeleton in a vaguely human shape

All you that do this pass bye

Remember death for you must dye

As you are now even so was I

And as I am so shall you be

Thomas Gooding here do staye

Wayting for God’s judgement day

Remember that you will die. My personal choice of 'memoranda' will be literature, and, hopefully, a son.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Because my life has gone in many unexpected directions and I want to see what happens next.

Are you Rhys McKinnon?

 

[DankSmoker]

Well I usually have to take a shit, so there's that to get me out of bed.

 

[Your Starter for 10]

My very existence causes pain to a lot of absolutely atrocious people, and I think that's hilarious.

It's not much, but it's enough.
