Reasons To Stay Alive

reason 35

Imagine this scene:

You're sitting by the windowsill of your apartment, watching the rain cascade down the sky and make little patterns on your window. After a long night binge watching your favourite series and playing really loud music and talking to your friend on the phone because neither of you could fall asleep, you wake up to the sound of silence and peace and rain rhythmically beating down the earth.

You make yourself a cup of tea and go outside. And as soon as you step out the door, a wave of petrichor hits you. That fragrant smell of wet earth and clean air... and you just stand there smiling like an idiot for no damn reason because in that moment... In that moment, you feel content with your life.

The sky is grey and everything looks bleak, but a wave of hopefulness is pulsing inside of you. You decide to stay alive, just to experience some more mornings like these, where everything just feels perfect and the way that it should be. And you smile to yourself because you know that you'll be okay.

I know that I definitely want to stay alive for those moments. And I'm sure you do too. ♡
