You doing okay? I don't think we've talked before but it sounds like you're asking for a less than general reason...if you need to talk, i'll listen!

1. A good life is a series of ups and downs. A total mess sometimes.
2. Depends on a lot of things. Sometimes it's as simple as something that's nice to see/smell/taste/hear/touch, sometimes its seeing my kid siblings smile, sometimes it's something i accomplished.
3. I don't think it can be put into words. Sometimes it's surviving, sometimes it's being with someone you care about, sometimes it's experiencing something nice. Some people have specific reasons, others don't.

I'm still figuring it out myself lmao

Edit: misread the second one, redid it

1. A good life to everyone is something different. Some people its money, some it's family. It's just everyone's taste, some people like apples, some like bananas

2. Leaving struggles behind. I was in a place where I didn't even know the point to life anymore, so I decide to change my life around. It doesn't get 100% better, but it helps a lot.

3. I have no good answer to this one, it's the mystery of life I guess. Some days it seems the mystery unfolds a little more, and most days the point hides it self. But just because it hides, doesn't mean it can't he found.

If you need someone to talk to you can PM :)

1. What is a good life? A life with moments of happiness
2. What will make me (the answer-er) happy? The answer-er, that's me right?
- I'm happy when people I know are happy.
- Good jokes
- Bad jokes
- Being proactive and productive
- Meeting expectations
- Getting praised
- Receiving a hand-made gift
- Being told positive thoughts
- Feeling loved
- Really good food (lol)
- Being healthy (oh the contradictions with the above)
- Playing tennis
- Not being behind in obligations (More of a negative, but I'm generally not so happy when I feel behind T-T)
- Light Novels, Manga, Anime, TV, Movies, Video Games (Short term happiness haha)
- Friends, Family, etc. (Long term happiness)
- Taking a walk
- Solving problems (Academic or otherwise)
- Moonmoon (I don't even understand it myself, but this meme always makes me smile)
- Drawing, and other hobbies
- Good memories
- Financial Stability, Living in the U.S. (The stuff I take for granted)
- Comedy
- Sleeping just the right amount
- etc. The list goes on and on

3. What is the point of living? To live. :) I don't think there's a need to think too deeply into it. By living you can find ideas or people that you want to live for if you haven't found them yet.

1. What is a good life?
There is no direct answer to that. A good life is one where you made memories and lived to the fullest you could. One that you can look back on and be proud of, even if there were tons of bad times. It is something that is unique to you and what you want. A good life isn't about becoming a millionaire, having a family, or even getting a job. Its about smiling and laughing and having a good time with the people you have around you, whether you know them or not.

2. What will make me (the answer-er) happy?
Lots of stuff! Even just reading other people's answers to this made me happy. When a child laughs, or someone I know (including myself) has accomplished anything (even just opening a pickle jar). Reading a book, or listening to music, or eating. eating makes me happy xD There is a lot in this world to be happy about, we just need to stop focusing on the news (which mostly portrays everything bad going on in the world) and look outside your window. Life is an opportunity, don't let it get away from you.

3. What is the point of living?
Being able to look back on something and smile about it even in your darkest times. Making others happy. Making yourself happy.

1. What is a good life?
To be happy, to just live in the moment, to be optimistic, enjoy and appreciate everything

2. What will make me happy?
- The thought of cheese (eating cheese makes me more than happy)
- Reading a nice book (preferably with a bowl of cheese)
- Looking at the sky (day or night, raining or sunny - doesn't matter)
- Listening to music
- Playing the piano
- Around true friends and family (example: scrolling through 9gag with my brothers)
- Watching funny vines :P
- A nice glass filled with clean water (just looks so perfect that it slaps a smile onto my face)
- Knowing that I'm important to somebody
- Knowing that people I care about are happy
- Writing down (not typing) what I want to write when I feel like it
- Baking with my dad
- Sylestia (actually does - I like how people here are less judgemental than how people are in RL)

3. What is the point of living?
Sometimes I don't think there is a point in living... BUT that doesn't mean I'm gonna jump out the window or stab myself with a knife. Since I'm here already, I'll just continue living - it's more meaningful than being dead, I suppose. If I'm dead, I won't be able to think about cheese or look at the sky anymore.

N' since I have friends and family that care about me (hopefully o_0), I think they'd prefer it if I don't die, so yea... perhaps the point of living is so that other people that love you and you love have a point of living. So deep :3

1. What is a good life?

I think a good life is one that you can look back on, and somehow say that the accomplishments are "good". Everyone defines "good" differently, so it'll vary. o: Like for me, if I feel proud about the accomplishments, that I actually did stuff that have value in my mind, I'd think my life is good. For others, if there was accomplishments that amassed tons of money in the end, no matter the means, it'd be good for them.

What's good for others might not be good for me, and vice versa. ;u; I'm actually going through a dilemma right now concerning such.

2. What will make me (the answer-er) happy?

For me...I'd love to have a nice house with all the material things I like, and not be pressured about anything I do. That would make me happy.
As far as my actions, as long as I can look back on them and not feel terrible about them, I think I'd be happy as well.

3. What is the point of living?

Varies for people! Some want to achieve something higher than themselves to benefit others, or just settle and benefit themselves. (Or the other way around, do complacent things to benefit others, or do great things to benefit themselves.)

For me, I found it hard to keep with the idea of living when feeling forced to do what my parents wanted me to do. It's one of those things where I was living their life and not my own, I suppose!
After some reflecting, I realized that I rather live life to ultimately benefit myself. I rather do what I want to do for my own results instead of my parents' results nor friends' results. And I think I'll continue doing that, living by my own terms and not anyone else's. O:

But why do I live by my own terms? To make myself happy.
After a bit of depression, happiness is a place where I want to be. Anywhere else pretty much stinks, aha.



(I've often been in dark places myself. But when I'm living, I get to do tons of things that make me happy, like games and hobbies and talking to friends. Even sleeping!
It's only in life that I get to do all those cool things, so...I guess that keeps me here aha. ;u; )

1) Finding the perfect husband, adopting wonderful kids, traveling all over the world, writing books, composing music, creating art, and making the ground shake from the difference I'll make with these new and foreign ideas of 'nice', 'peace', 'morality', 'grace', 'mercy', 'humanity', 'different is good', 'greed and lust is bad', 'war=death=bad', and 'vulnerability isn't a bad thing' to the horrendous world people call politics and government.

2) Watching people stumble from the ground shaking so hard, and then the privilege of helping them up and chiding them like children who need someone to set them on the right path.

3) To explore. Everything here on earth has already been discovered. Or nearly everything anyway. People who like digging in the dirt can stay here, but I want to go and explore the other places you see looking into the sky at night. A fresh start, and if we open up the options of inhabiting other planets, then we wouldn't need to have wars over every tiny little thing here. But for that to happen, you need to stop the threat of wars in the first place and reroute all that money to science and schools instead, and engage in friendly competition to push each other to explore. Like a race.

1. What is a good life?
A life of enjoyable productivity. AKA you have a career you enjoy going to every day, you have someone or something to care for and you are surrounded by people who care for you as well.

2. What will make me happy?
These are more like goals but goals are what keeps me going and what I think a "good" life should have.

- Graduating college May 2016.
- Landing a spot in my dream career.
- Getting a dog.
- Getting a nice apartment or small house.
- Losing some weight (and eating better). ;-;
- Staying in-touch with friends.
- Playing games errydey. 8D Games are more important than people think.
- Completing my reconstruction of a Sims 3 world. xD
- Travelling.
- Learning new skills and gaining knowledge.
- Reading more.

3. What is the point of living?
To die. Some people believe Earth is actually "hell" and when you die your spirit returns to its original home and state of pure bliss and happiness. The "bad" people on Earth are unhappy spirits who did not want to go through the trials and did not attempt to make the best of it while they are here. Nonetheless, they will also return to their happy state. I find this quite interesting... But really in the end we all die, so the "point" (or goal) is to die. Hopefully die happy.
