The anti-depression "life is worth it" list

This is a list of things that is worth being alive for:

  • Waking up next to Neil
  • Finding a phrase that is just so, that is exactly what I want sometimes
  • Discovering a new character in a book that inspires me to be braver, fiercer
  • [livejournal.com profile] osirusbrisbane's terrible puns, and the odd email words of advice that pop up in my inbox
  • One of [livejournal.com profile] readysetg0's moments of silliness and happy energy
  • The look of trust in Allergen's eyes when she's lying in the sun, purring and half-snoring away
  • Sunset light, and the way it makes the world look new and golden again
  • Harry and David pears
  • Blue oceans and lakes that are perfectly still and reflective as glass, before the wind ruffles its feathers into a flurry of small waves
  • Being tucked in by Neil
  • The feeling you get after a massage, as if everything were peaceful and dark and you're only just opening a window, discovering light
  • Live music concerts, and the sense of unity there in the room, when you know everyone next to you is laughing and crying on the same emotional wave
  • Being held as if I were completely precious
  • Spinning in rhythm at contradances
  • Finding a completely expressive, well composed photo
  • Singing, with perfect pitch, with someone else, and feeling the happiness of it run together
  • Hot tea
  • Holding hands with someone... anyone, actually.
  • Making someone smile unexpectedly (this one often comes with associated costs, but it's still worth it)
  • Being on a brand new adventure in bed (one that doesn't involve accidentally spraining something)
  • One small, snuggly stuffy


... Yum. Happier already. Your turn!
