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.

  • For most of my life it has been not wanting to let other people down. I do stuff because I am expected to and out of a sense of duty.

    I also wanted to have  money so I could live some idealised life that I can't achieve. I thought it was possible and I could have done better if I was not on my own. I have money but don't want to spend it.

    I don't know what I want. Life has been too serious. I avoid most things that would be fun.

    My challenge at the moment is to find something more meaningful that will keep me going.

    I relate to the not letting people down. I realised that under my decision making, this was the root of my decision making. Also can relate to finding life too serious too. I’m trying to find something at the moment that I can do that is fun but isn’t about pleasing someone. At the moment it’s a solo bike ride.

    Do you mind me asking what your idealized life would be?
