What do you live for?

I’m curious to know what keeps people going each day - do you have a thing that helps you get through? Or not, and you’re just living. A special interest, a person/people, a cause, a memory, a wish and future, God. anything. Life isn’t easy naturally, and I just want to know how others keep going.

At the moment, I feel my internal compass is missing, and I’m not sure what exactly I’m fighting for, and what gives me joy. I’m working on it at the moment, but I feel really not connected to anything. I feel a lot of inside of “I should feel this and this should be what gets me going” but I have nothing. Also I want to detox from social media so other voices aren’t trying to tell me that answer.

  • I suppose I live in hope, the Captain Tom motto normally comes into my mind,”tomorrow will be a better day.” I would love to see my Classic Mini project completed or at least started. I love the research and chase of finding a rare part for it.
    I’ve always been a ‘people pleaser,’ I know that must stop, putting it into practice is another thing.

    One of my hopes is that my eldest son would have contact with me it’s  been over two years now, it keeps me going hoping a resolve can be found.

    I relate to the people pleasing so much. So much so that now I’m facing myself recently, I’m left with the question of “who am I without that”. It’s a pretty scary thing haha. Especially when I think that’s a big thing that I lived for.

    I like the sound of the hope that you say you have. And the pursuit of your project. That sounds fun, I do hope I can find something like that, to get my teeth into. And the hope of despite not being in contact with your son. Thank you for sharing this :)
