My Ten Reasons For Survival

1)Ok, naturally, my friends come top here (family counts in here too). My friends... What can I say about them? I never realised exactly how true friends could be until I found my good ones. Nothing makes me feel better than having them there caring for me, and returning it. My really close friends... Well, I have a lot of good friends, but I have a few really really strong ones. I could list them here, but I'd rather list exactly why they're so good. They listen and help me when I need it. I have never met stronger and kinder people than my good friends. They all have their best qualities and their slight downsides, but to say I truly love them is right (friend way). On my profile is a small story about someone who died for someone they loved (motorbike crash, you may have seen it) and I would be willing to do this for any of my friends. The only time anyone on SW saw me angry is when someone dissed one of my friends. I will never hear anything against them. I recognise they have their failings, but to me, no one comes before them, and I've spent nights staying up, gone without food, just to make sure I have time for them, because I love them more than I love me. I also have my boyfriend, who I love so much. He always makes me smile. Ok, that was long, which just shows how important they are to me. Hopefully the next few will be shorter .1

2)Writing. My writing makes me feel good. I've never experienced a bad writer's block, because I can always think of something. I come to SW every single day, because I love the comments I get on my work, good or bad, and I can never wait to read them. I'm always planning out what would make a good story, or arranging phrases to use. My dream is to be an author, and has been for as long as I can remember. So yeah, writing comes pretty high on the list 2

3) To help. I have always wanted to help people. Again, on my profile, there's a small message saying this. I met some of my best friends by helping them through something, and I hate to see people upset. Which is why I try never to get angry over something petty. If I can help just one person survive, it's like saving the world, because that's what I'm doing. I'm saving the world for them. In every person is opportunity, talent, and goodness. If I can show them that, or just help them through a difficult time, it's not even my right to say no, in my opinion. So I can't take away from people a chance to be something, just because my life happens to be bad at the time. I don't mean for everyone to do this, lol. It's just my personal opinion of how I can make the world a better place 3

4)Drawing. This doesn't come as high on the list as writing, simply because it's not my life. I love to draw, it relaxes me and helps me think well. But it's not my life in the way writing is. I love to do it, and I'm always eager to improve, but I'm not going to panic if I can't sketch down a good idea, lol.4

5)Animals. I love animals. Watching them fascinates me. They are so interesting, so beautiful. There are no animals which scare me. I love rats, spiders, snakes, bees, wasps, and everything . Animals are beautiful and amazing, and we could learn so much from the ways they live and work with nature and each other. Amazing, lol.5

6)Bouncing. Again, I live to bounce. If I can't be cheerful, I shouldn't inflict it on other people. I don't think it's wrong to talk to my friends if I'm unhappy or stressed or need help, but being gloomy and depressing about my problems just seems a little pointless to me. I don't mind other people doing it, as long as it makes them feel good, but I never particularly feel like dumping my problems on other people, lol. So I try to maintain a happy, positive and strong attitude to whatever happens. I stress occasionally, and suffer from mild depression inside, but I try never to let it get to other people. Depression isn't pleasant but it's for me to deal with. So I keep up being bubbly and bouncy, and it helps me feel much better than moaning about all my problems ever could.6

7)A slightly random one. Special words. I love special words. My favorite word is 'bubbles' but I like lots of others. Words have so much power and meaning, and I love playing around with them and selecting them. Maybe I'm just sad, but I find it fun !7

8)My more short-term dream. I want to fly out and see all my friends. There's people I want to meet. I have a year to get the money together for the flight and then I hope to see everyone I've discussed the plan with. . I'm so keen to meet all my friends and see everyone again. So yeah, the dream I'm determined to achieve !8

9)(this possibly should have come earlier but never mind) Books. I adore books. Nothing is better to relax me than a story. I read a great deal of things on story write, and I have a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf and still need more space! I come from a family of bookworms ^^. To be in another world is wonderful.9

10)My laptop (again, random). I spend most of my time on here. I take my laptop everywhere with me, and I'm constantly on it. My family complain at me, tell me I live in a virtual world and don't see reality, but I love it. There's so much to do. My laptop provides me with everything I need and I love it. It's very shiny and posh and I go almost nowhere without it ^^10
