Everything. Girlfriend. Friends. Family. Laughing.

Zero complaints about life.

Damn cheer up people. If something is bugging you that much then fix it. When you start doing things that are good and right people notice. It won't be long before the girl you've been waiting for or the good paying job you're needing comes along. Crying about it while watching anime porn in your mom's basement isn't the answer.

Dopamine.

knowledge, reproducing, exploring and making the best of what I got.

This. Basically all of this will flood your brain with dopamine... it's the feeling of satisfaction and motivation that is core to making life feel worth it.

Sunshine on my face, cool breezes, thunderstorms, my kids laughing and playing, my dog sitting by my side, my wife holding hands with me after all these years. Lots of things to make life worth living.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.

I haven't chosen to stay alive, that just seems to happen. Every night i close my eyes, and for some reason I wake up again in the morning.

Long as I'm here, I'm gonna party, fuck, drink, explore; succeed and fail at stuff, and enjoy whatever I can. Why not?

Freedom. The start of life is long and boring and it's pretty much a straight path where you don't have much choices. you have to go to school, and finish that path. But after all that part of life is done, then the rest is yours to chose and do what you want with it.

Having my own house and a job, and family, I could not really ask for more. I have it made. I worked hard for it, but it was well worth it. From this point I can choose my path. Maybe I want to change careers, or start my own business, or just keep doing what I'm doing. The choice is mine and only mine. Life is all about what you make of it, and it's up to you to make the best of it.

Some people live to work, I work to live.

Watching people consume things and enjoying their gluttonous ways. I wish items were cheaper to me so I can offer them more than they can use or eat and watch the results.

doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. within reason of course.

i used to work too much, and made pretty good money doing it, but i never had time to do what i wanted to do. eventually, i said fuck it, and left my job. i work a lot less now, and also make a lot less, but i now have time to do what i want to do. i'm hardly ever stressed, and actually enjoy living life a lot more now. the trade off was giving up some luxuries, but they really weren't too difficult to give up.
