hey, lauren here !!
we all go through our own internal battles leading us to become consumed in ourselves, and whilst it’s absolutely normal and okay, here’s my way of reaching out to anyone who might be struggling right now. Sometimes it’s harder to notice, but i’m here for you. Life is really beautiful and I get it, it can be hard to believe sometimes. so with 100 reasons to stay alive, I hope I can reflect some of the beautiful things life has to offer <33
100 reasons to stay alive
The surprise leftover hot chips in the bag
Intertwined hands
Getting an amazing grade on a test
Hugging your friends after not seeing them for a long time
Soft little paws on puppies
Soft big paws on puppies
All the little animals you haven’t pet yet
Surprise leftovers
All the adventures you haven’t taken
Scented candles
Random times mum says you can get maccas
Lazy sunday sleep ins
A new season of your favourite netflix show
Those summer evenings when it’s cool but still warm
Late night swims
Clothes that are still warm from ironing
Hopping into bed with fresh new sheets after shaving
Well-earned sleep where you melt into bed
Bay windows
Popping christmas crackers
Photobooths
All of the flower fields you haven’t explored
Cannon bombing into pools
Ribbons
The crispy winter mornings
Dragon breath in winter
Corner pieces of birthday cakes
Surprise rainbows in the sky
f r o g s
Being noticed by your fav artist in the mosh pit at their concert
Dancing around your room by yourself
Genuine thank yous
When you’re feeling ignored and someone listens to you
Friends who stay back whilst you’re tying your shoelaces
Siblings displaying random acts of kindness
Long hugs
Winning a prize from a claw machine
The smell of new books
Being at the beach till the sun sets
Shuffling your playlist and getting you the exact song you want
Polaroid cameras
Messages in a bottle
That one friend who sticks by your side
Leaving the cinemas late at night into an empty shopping centre
Someone playing with your hair
Dogs outside of supermarkets
The beautiful nature you haven’t seen
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets
Roller Coasters
When someone rests their head on your shoulder
Really oddly soft plushies
Excited to hang out with friends
Late night cards against humanity games
Surprise parties
Dressing up because why not?
The moment when you finish that last exam
Pulling all-nighters at sleepovers
Kissing the person you’ve been wanting to kiss
A glass of water when you’re really thirsty
Getting a good haircut
Nailing trivia night
Long hot showers
Accidentally finding an amazing song to fall in love with
Late night food runs
Making someone die of laughter from a joke
Swimming on a hot day
The smell of rain
You’ve made it this far
Dancing in the rain
Conversations that last all night
All the places you’ve never been
Meeting internet friends in real life
When your pet randomly comes and cuddles with you
Graduation
Laughing uncontrollably until your belly gets sore
Blasting music in the car
Compliments from strangers
Jumping in puddles
Cloud and stargazing
Sunshine
The smell after it rains
Water balloon fights
Floating in the water on your back and staring at the sky
Bonfires and s’mores
Singing songs at the top of your lungs
Spontaneous adventures
Traveling to the furthest corners of the world
To smile until your cheeks hurt
The triumphant feeling of getting something right when someone told you were wrong
Birthday cake
Going out in a brand new outfit that you look killer in
Clumsy first kisses where you both giggle and tug at each other’s fingers.
Staring out into the ocean at the beach with your toes dug into the sand and soft waves
You might win the lottery one day
All those things you love to do
Seeing stars on a clear night in the country (it’s magical)
Not being able to fall asleep because you’re so excited
The idea that one day, you might just change someone’s life.
Being with the people you love
There is still so much to experience. Life might not seem great right now but anything could happen. You can do anything. Icarus thought he could fly, he believed in it so much that he died doing what he loved. Fly toward the sun. Go out laughing, not crying.
