Are there things you love about Life?

[shiny_quill]

Pretty much what the title says; are there things you like about Life (in general) or your life?

I've recently really got into anatomy and physiology for my classes and it made me really love life as a process, as this carefully oiled machine where everything is precisely how it's supposed to be and everything within an organism is interconnected and you" and "your brain" are the same thing, as far as your consciousness goes you're just a brain sending electric messages to muscles in order to move, sort of like a flesh mecha suit and it's kind of beautiful (in the same way a vintage car's insides are beautiful to a car collector) and reassuring? Like, Life isn't some mystical thing, it's not magic , there's no greater purpose to life, you can do honestly whatever, it does not matter, at the end of the day you're just flesh and bones and nerves and muscles and guts and I think there's beauty in that.

I also love (mostly) all animals (leeches are the exception: they know what they did) and just watching them makes Life a bit brighter... It doesn't make me love my life more, but it does make me stop and watch and brings me peace for just as long as I'm watching, and those are the two big things I actually love about Life, and I was curious as to what others on SaSu might enjoy about Life (or life).

Lots of love to anyone reading this btw, and I'm really curious about possible answers

When I was healthy I loved hiking in a desolate hills, surrounded by just nature and the chirp of the birds. Now my health is so fucked up. I'm having trouble walking on flat ground, let alone inclined ground.

i love my boyfriend, my cats and i look forward to being able to see seals one day! i do love the outside but i dont go out as much because of anxiety and im afraid of what other people may do/say if im out, i love wide open fields but i hate the feeling of grass touching my legs and bugs lol. i love nature a lot! i love dolls too, theres a lot i like and love but those are what stands out most.

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

I love coffee and falling asleep. I like computers, software, electronics, solving problems, calling out shit when I see it, which has helped me pay bills and send kids to college. I like the Catholic cemetery and the little granite box I paid for, where someday, inevitably, what's left of me will finally be silent.

For me it is equally this:

Traveling and meeting new folks, cultures, foods and humanity

Have always loved helping folks get a smile, feel good about themselves and overall move humans forward together.

[darksouls]

I love animals and nature

i look forward to being able to see seals one day!

Seals are wonderful, and I hope you get to see some soon! Where I'm from, it's not too uncommon to see them resting on the beach when their pups are too young to learn to swim yet, it's very cute! Depending on where you're from, it might be interesting to look into what species you have and when they give birth, as this is likely going to be your best shot at seeing them in the wild. It's important to note however that herds need their space, especially when the pups are still young, and they might get nervous or even aggressive if you get too close: typically, if you're looking for a herd in the wild, it's a good idea to take a pair of binoculars and remain at a distance where you can see them using the binoculars, but not (or barely) without

You might have known all of that, I just get way excited when it comes to animals, and I'm not trying to be condescending or anything. My point remains, I hope you get to see them, they're majestic and lovely <3

 

[Oreki]

Yes, there are things I enjoy, but the negatives outweighed the positives, and I know that with time it will only go more downhill

 

[rainatthebusstop]

There are things I love in this life such as well tasting foods and the warmth of a cozy bed. But alas the rest of the world is a game where I have no place in and would like to quit

 

[Firaga]

Clair Obscur has definitely got me excited about what new games will be coming out in the future. I don't want to miss out on game releases & music releases.

 

[ih34rty0u]

music, food, cigarettes. i also love when my cats come to lay beside me (but they stayed with my parents after i left for college). i like looking at pretty things like old buildings, nature (especially the sky), neon lights etc. but those moments of joy are really short.

 

[AAE]

Cats. I can't have any because of allergies but I can watch them on Instagram and YouTube, and I treasure the very rare occasions when I get to meet one. I loved the life I had before it was ruined by chronic illness and evil people, before my mom died. She was my happiness and always will be.

 

[vanillamilkshakes]

Nature, music, animals, and other little things like that. Still, the negatives outweigh the positives.

 

[nocatwaslost]

For me it is: music especially in form of live concerts, dancing, nature (lakes and rain), social connection, laughing, cuddling, giving back in general and of course cats (dogs too).

I really like this thread, because it puts the spotlight on all the positive things we have in our life

 

[girl from mars]

I love to read. Classics, comics, manga, anything. I always feel accomplished when I finish a book and I anticipate going to the library to get another. I especially love to buy books and add them to my shelf, but that can get pricey and I only buy my favorites

 

[Chiyumine]

Death

 

[isaac clarke]

I love art history, I love people (even if I don't like interacting with them face-to-face). I love the human mind, and the human will and big, vague concepts such as that. I love stories, and I love nature.

 

[shiny_quill]

Death

Hey, I don't mean to sound rude, but I don't think this is the right thread for this? Unless you meant it some other way and I misunderstood, in which case I apologize, but it means a lot to me to keep this thread on the more positive side because:

1. If you're planning to go, might as well go peacefully, knowing that Life might have not been great to you, but that it has beauty nonetheless and

2. If you have doubts, I think listing the things you love can help, and if you can't think of them yourselves, it can be good to look at what others (especially on here) might love and see if anything resonates with you

Again, I don't mean to sound rude, and if I misunderstood what you meant, feel free to let me know and I'll apologize properly, but I do think this was slightly innapropriate for the thread :/

I do run away alot from what i enjoy, but simply the possiblity of climbing, ice skating, and sculpturing seems to be nice about life.

 

[pokerrkitty]

I love my boyfriend, card games, being able to draw, paleontology, biology, and cats. Especially mountain lions.

 

[INYGTRMTFMO]

I love my family. I love my coworkers. I love cozy games and coffee and tea and chocolate. I love warm weather and flowers and, paradoxically, snow (although it is very infrequent here). I love writing poetry and reading autobiographies and listening to parenting podcasts. I love Christmas and all the cheesiness that comes with it. I love music and ASMR. I love making kandi bead jewelry and perler art. I love sleep, and I love dodging sleep to stay up and pursue my hobbies.

 

[Arvayn]

Like the other person that posted here, I love death.
Except it's not that I want to die, explicitly; rather I enjoy studying thanatology, as well as the philosophy surrounding it. There are many angles that death can be taken from. Biological, existential, mereological, theological... It is my special interest in life. I like to joke around that the Grim Reaper will offer me an internship after I die, because of how much I know on the subject.

On a lighter note, I can't get enough chocolate.

Music, food, some video games, movies and books... and the few, fleeting happy moments that I get to experience, and that's about it.
