"Why do you choose to live? "
Life is precious. I have a mother, sister, and grandmother who love me dearly. If I were to end my life, they would be devastated. When I am in the pits of despair, their love for me keeps me going.

"What motivates you to make an effort in life?"
I am too darn stubborn to give up. Regardless of how crappy the day may be, I refuse to believe this is what my life is meant to amount to. I *know* there is more for me out there. If I quit, I will never know anything better. I have been given this life and these trials and I will not fail. So I keep trying, no matter how hard or how many times I fall down.

"Why do you get out of bed in the morning?"
I have a little dog who needs to be fed and taken outside to pee. She loves me unconditionally and depends on me... I cannot let her down.

"Do you WANT to live?"
Yes. I will die someday, so I'd rather let this life play out before I reach death and go into whatever is beyond. I want to see how much good I can do for other people, how many people I can reach out to and help with their mental disorders. I want to spread love and kindness to the people in my life. There is so much negativity in this world... I want to do what I can to give a little good to people.
