Reasons to Live

Location

Answering a question right in class

Breaking a rule and not getting caught

Capturing the perfect picture

Daydreaming about your future

Empathizing with someone

Feeling wanted when a puppy snuggles up to you

Going out on your first date 

Having your first kiss 

Inspiring someone else 

Jumping rope with a six year old

Killing time with someone special

Listening to the birds in the early morning 

Making someone laugh

Nodding yes even though you didn't hear them

Opening your heart up to someone

Playing on a playground

Quitting bad habits

Road trips

Sending someone a silly birthday card

Tasting new ice cream flavors

Understanding someone else's point of view

Vacations with your friends

Watching the sun set

Xylographic...whatever that means..

 

 

You're someone's reason to smile
