Why do we live? Do we need a reason to live? We live because we choose to. We breathe because we can. We eat because we're hungry. We laugh because we feel like it. We cry because we're sad. Life is never something to take for granted. Life is precious. Maybe our lives aren't precious to others, but it is a treasure to ourselves.

We only have one life, we only have one chance to do it right. Shout your feelings out. Cry your pain out. Laugh your insecurities away. Sing your misery away. Life is all about living the way we want to. No one else has the answers as to why you live, but deep inside we know why we live.

We live for ourselves. We make choices that make us happy. We live to see our children grow. We put our blood and sweat for our children to see them grow up right. We live for the future. We live to see how the world changes. We live to see the types of electronics and equipment that will help make our lives easier.  We live for the joys in life. We live for the adventures. Can you feel the warmth of our blood flowing through us? The bright colors that capture our attentions. The sounds that get our bodies moving. These are the proofs that we are alive. Everyone has a goal. These goals are the reasons that make us live. They are the food that feed our hungry souls. They are the stars that light up our darkened hearts. They are the future that we all strive towards.

We live for others. We live for our mothers, our fathers. We live for our friends. We live for our children. We continue living on because someone is waiting for us. We live because of the responsibilities that we have to them. We live to feed our children and to fulfill our duties as parents. We live for our parents who have raised us. We live for our friends that shared happiness and sadness with us.

As long as we are alive. We live. We live each and every day. No matter how sad we get. No matter how angry we get. We live to see tomorrow. Everyone has something to live for. It's the nature of any living being. We may not know it until it's gone, but it's there forever. Why do we live? Why do you think we live? We live because we need to live. We live because we can live. We live because we want to.
