Today’s Reasons
Some serious. Some small. All real.
...because there are interesting people out there, with something unique to talk about. Go talk to someone!
...because we are ALL just hangin' in there today, and we all need daily reasons to keep pushing forward.
...because there is a cup of coffee somewhere, or you already drank too much.
...because today is a day we make changes for the better, which can be a great step in your mental health support journey.
...because you need to toughen up. If living is not a fight, then it's not worth living.
...because somebody out there MAY support your dreams, and possibly even rely on you not giving up on them.
...because death may NOT be an escape to a BETTER place.
...because bizarre things DO happen, that might be worth the wait.
There is an ancient Babylonian proverb that says to 'never let your wife break wind on your chest,' which confirms what King Solomon later claimed, 'there is nothing new under the sun.'
...because the weather is pretty good today. And your corpse would lie lifeless in a disgusting fashion.
...because this is NOT a suicide cult. We have to STOP them!
...because you might need to be a role model for someone whose life is BETTER than yours.
...because there may be too many people around; if not, then you should invite some people over for support.
...because you might make a breakthrough on a project you have been working on.
...because others are counting on YOU to come up with something good.
...because you should never give up on romance; it makes life that much more romantic.
...because EVERYONE ELSE is at work or class. Find a free class to join and expand your horizons!
...because today is NOT the day for a self-pity party; let's focus on daily reasons to uplift ourselves.
...because something beautiful could happen, even if it wasn't today.
...because there are people who know EXACTLY how you feel right now, so don't lose faith in seeking mental health support.
...because I dare you to stay alive one more whole day until you go to sleep. I DOUBLE DOG DARE you.
...because you may be neglecting stress factors that do require periodic relief.
...because there ARE things you have yet to obtain, that you CAN obtain today.
...because someone you know needs some genuinely good 'brother to brother' advice, which can be crucial for mental health support.
...because there are grilled breakfast tacos on corn tortillas with egg, cheese, and meat.
