I am Jean Moreau. I will endure.

Just wanted to thank @korakos for sharing The Sunshine Court with us. It is everything I didn’t know I needed. ❤️‍🩹

Need a reason to live?

Recently, I made four polls with eleven reasons to live in each. Most of those reasons were given to me by people who have also been suicidal in the past, and I decided to compile them into one long list (plus some) for anyone who needs it to come back to when they're out of reasons to keep going.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Please do not turn this into one of those "ALWAYS REBLOG IF YOU SEE" posts. Thank you. ⚠️

Relationships

Your furry companion(s) (this means pets and friends who are furries <3)

Your friends

Your family

Those who look up to you

To reconnect with someone you haven't seen in a while

Your headmates (specific to those who are apart of systems)

There's someone who isn't around anymore who would want you to keep going

To eventually be a mentor to someone

To make sure your animals never have to sleep alone

To fall in love

Your partner

To meet your online friends/mutuals

To tell your mentor/the people who raised you with kindness that you made it

To see someone close to you through their final days

To make it big enough to eventually provide for those you care about

Your FP (personality disorder specific)

Group photos with your (found) family and friends

To help your friends do the same

The friends you've yet to meet

A promise you made to someone special

Acts of kindness

To be there when someone needs you

To see someone smile because of you

To make a stranger's day a little brighter

To hand out compliments to those who need it

To make the world a little bit better before you go

To treat the people around you the way you wish you'd been treated

To be the one person in someone's life who is there unconditionally.

To help someone you love to quit an addiction

To do charitable deeds

Affection

Hugs from someone you trust

Kisses from a partner, close friend or pet

Cuddles when it's cold/lonely

To laugh until your stomach hurts

Forehead touches

To hold someone so tight that they're wheezing

Doting on people when they're feeling down

To make the people around you laugh

Interests

That new game/movie/show/book/album/etc. that you’ve been waiting for

Telling everyone and anyone who will listen about your special interest/hyperfixations

To share creations that aren't appreciated enough

To save up for something that would make life more bearable

To finally complete a collection

Projects would be left unfinished

To travel

To complete a project you've been working on for a long period of time

Projects you've yet to come up with

To start participating in special interests you've had to put on hold

To laugh at the creations you made when you were younger and less experienced

Those who consume your work would never get to see another creation of yours

Spite (because I think spite deserves Its own section:))

To stick it to your abusers

To prove your younger self wrong

To prove the people around you wrong

To prove your younger self right

To prove the people around you right

To spit on the grave of someone who hurt you

As a big 'fuck you' to the world and everyone in it who tried to silence you

To outlive your enemies

To do something that you've never been allowed to do (get a piercing, tattoo, cut or dye your hair, etc.)

To show off your success to the people who doubted you

To make sure whoever hurt you doesn't win

Milestones

You've got a milestone of some kind that you'd like to reach before you go

To see your (future) children reach a milestone of their own

To see a birthday you never thought you'd make it to

To recover from your eating disorder

To experience independence

To start/complete your transition

To go on your first date

To purchase your first car

To rent/purchase your first house/apartment

To have your first child

To lose your virginity

To experience the joy of knowing you escaped/got through a bad situation

To eventually publish your own book/art piece/etc.

Miscellaneous

To finally get diagnosed with something important

So if nothing else, you can still say you survived

You have a bucket list you'd like to complete

To live because you want to, not because others want you to

Comfort drinks with someone you love

You wrote a letter to yourself that you can't open until a certain date/birthday

Those rare and valuable pieces of media with good representation of a minority/marginalised group.

To read through past conversations with people and cringe/laugh/cry.

All the different foods you've yet to try

To see the world become more accommodating to those who need it

To watch the seasons change

To celebrate the holidays

For those days where you do feel okay, perhaps even good

To eventually replace the stuff in your closet with things that represent who you are now

To read back on journals and diaries you made when you were younger

If you are not in a place where any of these help, that's more than okay as well. It will be here if and when you ever need it. Being suicidal can be extremely lonely and scary and we all deal with it in different ways.

If you have your own reason and you feel comfortable sharing it with me, let me know via asks or DM and it will be added as soon as I can 💞

honestly the only way to not do addiction recovery "right" is by dying. relapse is part of recovery. when we relapse, it's because there's something we haven't learned yet. and as long as we stay alive, we have a chance to learn it and get back on our feet. so props to you for still being here, despite everything. it means more than you know.

You know what? Fuck the whole "you have so much more to offer the world" take on encouragement. Enough of that shit. What does the world have to offer you?

If it's been so unkind that you don't wanna go on, then the universe owes you a dept of joy, and you owe it to yourself to stick around and make it deliver.

Who gives a shit what other people can gain from you? What's your favorite drink? Where would you wanna travel some day? Which bands are you looking forward to new albums from? What season do you wanna see again and again?

The world has so much left to offer you, and you deserve the best of it.

HAPPY TWO YEARS OF RUIN TO ALL THE DEAR HEARTS OUT THERE 😭😭😭

I can't believe we have a new post and they're working on new music omg

#I'M SO EMOTIONAL 😭😭😭😭 #the amazing devil #Tad #joey batey #madeleine hyland #Ruin the album #The way this gave me more serotonin than anything else #I've missed them so much #I love them so much #I have feels ok #Reasons to live #Literally restored my will to move on here #dear hearts

[the-forestry-system]

reasons to breathe and keep going:

your friends WILL miss you

your pets won't understand why you left if you don't

you can't listen to your favorite song if you don't

you can't have your favorite food anymore if you don't

you'll never pet another dog if you don't

youll never hear a cat purr again if you don't

statistically humanity is getting kinder, what you hear is the loud minority because it's easier to list the bad stuff

you'll never get to see your favorite musician live if you don't

you'll never get to watch your favorite movie if you don't

you'll never get to play your favorite game if you don't

it's okay to struggle and I can't promise it will get better but you can do hard things. because you've done everything you thought you couldn't before. take a rest and keep going because your best isn't stagnant but you're best is enough

ykno a century was a long time ago but given that 3-4 generations in a family usually have contact with each other, in the context of family history, it really isn't that long ago. for example, i knew my great-grandmother (born in 1919). i was young when she died, but old enough to remember her death clearly. i remember how much her absence was felt, since she was the matriarch, and i know she encouraged my art. and she knew her grandmother, born in Ireland close after an Gorta Mór.

that's 7 generations, connected within 3 degrees of separation. i can only imagine how much was lost in that time, and how much was passed on. did my 3rd great grandmother love art like me? what did she go through? how did the experiences of her parents and family impact her, and how does that trickle down to me? i may never know but. it's something that makes me feel more connected and significant to humanity to think about.

even if you never have children yourself, you can undoubtedly experience this connection too. just think about all the people who fought for your rights, all the people who had passion for something you love and developed it greatly. all the people in your day to day life who add a spark to your day, the friends who have helped you grown. we may all turn to dust one day, but your presence will hold for centuries whether you - or anyone alive then - knows it or not.

we are 8 billion people on a rock. a few things from that:

if there were no reason to live humanity would be extinct

you are not so especially different from the other 8 billion people on this planet that a) you do not also have a reason to live and b) none of the other 8 billion people on this rock would like you. i can assure you more people enjoy your existence than you know.

even if you were the last person on earth there would be god knows how many other living beings to interact with, some domesticated and would also like you.

at least you're not elon musk.

if you disagree with this post, please make your own expressing how you feel instead of exposing another very unwell person to negative thoughts they have also had as well. feel free to add your own (positive) extrapolations though.

Reasons to recover #8

For my younger self. She deserves to feel happiness, love, comfort and safety. 💘🍂

She deserves it all after struggling all her life and feeling left out, unloved and alone, feeling like she didn't fit in anywhere. She deserves to love herself and feel love. ( crying as I write this, it's a difficult journey but I'm trying for her)
