    That is beautiful :) Surfer was MY reason to keep going. :( At least i didnt leave HIM right? *sigh*

    Awww, no you didn't. And Surfer didn't 'leave' you either. They're always there whether we know it or not.

    Oh another thing keeping me going...My BTBAM shirt I got Friday night. It's already my most favoritist shirt ever. I've worn it twice this weekend. When I bought it at the show, and then again last night. :D It's so comfortable...and I think I met more people last night than ever before...so it's already a lucky shirt hahaha.

    Waking up in the morning and actually feeling happy and glad to be awake. That never used to happen. Being happy in one area of my life has made me apprecaite the rest of it so much more.

    Thankyou for showing me what i've been missing. :)

    i know 4 friends who choose to leave this life earlier than normal and they might have taken the easy way out but they're probably free from all this chaos we call life.

    Free from the chaos, sure, but they will also never see their kids grow up, their nieces and nephews turn into whatever they turn into, they'll never see another sunrise, they'll never hear their favorite song again, and they will never see the waves crashing on the beach again. Be careful not to glorify their exits.


    As far as the original post is concerned:

    My family (especially watching my niece and nephew grow up)
    My girlfriend
    Music
    Concerts
    PJ tours
    Playing guitar
    Reading
    Skiing
    Golf
    Road trips
    Hanging out until the early morning with good friends, drinking beers and talking
    Guinness
    Wine
    Spicy food

    For me its music. its the reason I get out of bed. It comforts me. It soothes. It energizes. It blows my mind. I can go to a concert, and after it feel like I witnessed some religious experience, like it was life affirming. It gives my life purpose. It is everything. I am a straight edger and think that without music my life would be a worse wreck than it currently is (I am in the middle of a Quarter life crisis, trying to find myself and purpose).

    this is such a cute post. :p no offense, but i remember being your age and actually thinking i had to figure it all out NOW. :D trust me, you need a few more years under your belt, then you're allowed to have a "crisis". ;)

    i get out of bed every day between 6:30 and 7:30am because my toddler wakes me up. and then i need to send my older son off to school. then i get the baby dressed & fed and to the sitter's. then i go to work (i do listen to music on the way). then i do my job, which i really enjoy, then i leave, pick up the midget, go home and start dinner. then i enjoy the evening with my guys- the kids & my husband. we get everyone bathed & we hang out a while, then get the kids to bed and have some grownup time. then we crash.

    so, i guess i'd say my children & husband are my impetus to get my arse outa bed everyday. oh, and the knowledge that life is a glorious gift, to be opened again and again, every day. :)
