Why?

Why are we here? We achieve so many things but when we all die our achievements are nothing, so why are we here? We are here for the affection of one another, the one stolen kiss that you think means forever, for the feeling of butterflies you get in your stomach knowing that this person in front of you cares. When we all die our tall buildings and new phones will be nothing, when we all die our legacy will not live on, and when we all die our love will not live on. It won't live on because no one is there to know your story and no one is there to care about your story, so I ask why are we here? While we are here we live to make life easier but yet at the same time we ruin life. We try to gain money and popularity, these things get to the top of our priorities and soon it turns into our one priority and it crushes everything around you into nothing, because the only thing you need is money, right? Well when we aim for these thing only we miss out on the love we need and we try to fill this hole with more money and more popularity and so it goes on and on. This is the point at which we lose our self and our chance to love.


  And so I ask myself, why am I here?I have no purpose, no one to hold but yet here I am. Over and over I am shown that I do not belong here, so why am I here? So many times I ask this question and I never get an answer. Will someone answer this question or will I forever be wondering. Why should I stay for there is no one holding me back, I have been bad to no one except the people who I love most and I now feel they are long gone. Why should I stay? The question we all ask and most find an answer but some of us never do, and so we leave, so why should I stay? This question echos in the darkness, why should I stay? I do not see a light in this dark, so why should I stay?

Love with all you have, and your memory will live on

I can't ask myself this because everything starts to become pointless. I'd rather live with my eyes closed and my hands over my ears then in perpetual sadness because I can't answer that question. I really loved the line about being bad to the ones we love, it was remarkably simple and beautiful. I enjoyed your musings :)

the thought of living for no

the thought of living for no reason is a mistake made many times. we just need to find our reason... maybe our reason is front of us the whole time but we are too scared to look it in the eye... so take your time and uncover your eyes so you can find your reason (:

Well said! I should start peeking through my fingers, haha. I know I don't need the answer to live, but the fact that the answer is different for everyone makes things even more difficult. No one can tell you, you need to find it yourself.
