The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

What inspires you to get up in the morning and not to end life itself?

my son and daughter, they are my everything

Thats a really good one.

i'll give you a short list of inspirations for me
My love for Alassiel
the play of the clouds across the sky
the scent of flowers on the wind
the infinite creativity of nature
the intricate patterns in a block of wood
the wonder that is the human form in motion
the way fallen leaves play in a spring breeze
the divinity expressed in the smile of a baby

that a good beginning?
if you want the long list we would have to go for a few hours of coffee together
and keep in mind....I'm a pessimist.
there is always a reason to continue

So detailed. Amazing. The simplist things. Sorry to make you sound dim, but in reality they are.

the reason i keep going?

the people i care about?

without them i wouldn't want to do anything...

The hope that there's something really awesome coming my way just over the next hill or around the next corner.... and of course my children....I want to be around when they grow up....as they go through their teenage years...as a buffer against their uptight mother's hypocrisy and horseshit....and as a source of pride to them...as well as embarrasment...he he!!

I take no offense...
I deliberately chose the simplest of things.....
if the simplest things alone are reason enough to keep going then just think on the quality of the bigger things in life.

lol i dont wake up in the morning i wake up as late in the afteroon as possible

but to answer the questin... beauty. art in all it's wonderful forms. be it in nature or manmade, i live to see beauty fulfilling itself against all that represses it

thinking the next day will be different and everything will be better

my love vince, just to hear his sweet voice means everything to me

knowing that someday my dream might come true

i really dont know that may be its the fact that i can possibly help some one or the fact that i may just get to blow some ting up

The people I love and care about.

The people that care about me.

The past that I have overcome.

The future waiting for me.

nothing inspires me just to stupid yet yearning thought that the earth will eat itself alive and i will die that day .

knowing i will gain more knowledge even as i awake and carry it with me for days to come. also my past makes me long for the future, by now knowing what matters in life and what i must do for my future and the ones i love...

Because I love the life, even though it is sometimes really f***** up, but I know that after bad times good will come.
And I also couldnt be so selfish, because I love my family and friends...and I know that if they are just from a half similar to me, it would be me who made their lives nightmare....and why??? (for me it is better when myself is suffering than someone else I love)

two awnsers (IE the short version)

ego and pride......

long awnser.....

if I were to die by my own hand it would be like admiting that everyone whom had ever spoken ill of me had been right. (but no they are morons so I must continue)

R-R-R-Revenge (by out living people I dislike)

being able to make other people feel and to feel in turn.

knowing stuff

learning stuff

The fact that it isn't all bad (just mostly)

being able to bitch about things (this is so fun how could one ever give this one up eludes me)

and um all the fluffy bunny krap daermon went on about too....

- Obligations to self or someone important in my life
- Its one day closer to coming home
- Unwillingness to accept defeat
- Knowing the only way to get a good nights rest is to tire myself out for the following night
- The possibility that I'm going to experience something that amazes me
- The possibility that I might have the opportunity to share something amazing with someone else
- Needing to pay homage to the porcelain gods

life and family keeps me going

my friends at school and the guy i totally adore, scott.

Because something good might happen, and I might be really happy. Why end your life, that's the dumbest thing ever.

It seems that bar a few we all stay alive for the same reasons. People we love and care about, little things we take for granted. They are there everyday, but damn it we'd be lost without em.

What get's me up and keeps me from ending my life ... simple, the fact that I am still alive when I shouldn't be. The fact that my maker, whom ever he/ it maybe allowed me to stay alive or be brought back from the brink 3 times, for whatever the reason may be. I have a purpose in this life, I may not know it yet, but there is a reason for me being here.

What inspires me to stay alive, that would be my child, my family, the sunshine, the flowers, the air, the fact that life in all it's ups and downs really isn't as bad as most like to think it is. Appreciate what you have now, because you never know when it will be taken away from you. Instead of people knocking life, they should try life, it's really not that bad.

Yes Cherry advocaat, u have said it!
Its like a rule that whenever it is horrible...it WILL get better....nearly always and I think life is worth for it to wait!

Thats a bit like "there is always light at the end of the tunnel"

What inspires me constantly changes, and it is this that makes life worth continuiong, that I never know whats waiting for me, or what Im waiting for. Life is full of shifts, and shifts in motivation are a refreshing thing.

I can tell you what does not inspire me, much easier to answer. Getting killed by love, givng all my trust and affection to someone who plays me like a fiddle... I have all my inspiration temporaily stolen and smashed infront of my eyes. But, such is life, i guess you just gotta pick your tired bones up, dust off all the pain and start again! Everyhting happens for a reason, you never know what await for you the next day,week or year. You just have to be strong enough, find strength from place where you never thought existed... Everything gets alot worse before it gets better, i know.. oh do i know.. but, when the good comes around.. it will shatter all the dark and make you walk into a life of brillent light...

Different emotions, words, actions, watching life, watchng people, craftying crazy shit, the people i love and will not say, blood, guns moey, coffee, and the green feiry, painting, movies, outdoor shit, asking people about bigfoot? anything to experience a new feeling, or a forgotten one, i think?

My inspirations for getting up in the morning:
1.) (Now, as corny as this may sound... (bash me if you like, but it's the Goddess honest truth)) My Mom is my number one reason, because she's done so much to keep me alive, I feel I owe it to her to keep trying
2.) I'm determined to prove that I can overome anything and won't quit

there are a few things...
art. all forms.
the surity that theres more and if i make it through this maybe itll get easier to get through the next thing
the people that care about me
my mother...imagine how itd hurt after she gave up everything to give me a life
the total easiness of the whole idea. the act may not be easy, but the thoughts behind it are
im not saying that i never think of giving up and never rising again. im not saying ive never cut myself to feel something physical because my emotions were so overwhelming. im just saying that the reasons i dont give up are the ppl who care about me.

my family is always first priority.

my children are so wonderful and i enjoy watching them grow.

my husband just for being who he is.

the joy i get from dancing with women who i respect and adore.

dancing for people who appreciate what we do and the happiness i feel for having the ability to give them happiness in return.

and gummi bears. i mean who could live without that????

I can't really name off things. especially since i've lost a lot of things so a lot of the time the only reason I wake up is to continue wondering what I keep waking up for :P
I suppose my greatest reason for life is all things art. Music, painting, dance photography. I love only a few people, they are my friends. That is basically what I have to live for. I'll miss art and everything when I lose my eyesight finally but, at least I'll still have music and friends..

Ther was a time i thought deep into the Darkness of my soul and wanted to give up, but then i remembered the love of Family and friends that had given me joy... if only for a moment. I saw and read about the suffering of others who stood the test of time and fought with all they had against great odds... some even at the cost of their lives, just to make a point that would enhance the lives of others. Such sacrifice...
I read poetry, critiqued music, listened to greater minds than my own. Studied in my own way the great stories and works of greater men and women that have come before me.
I stood still and allowed my soul to listen... to water and trees, the wind, the sound of children laughing, a baby crying.
I made love to a women who set my soul afire, several times.

All in all , with so much in this world that i dont know yet have experienced just this much ...i realize i am not worthy to give up for i have not yet done anything worth Dying for. I can not die for i have not yet truly lived... thats makes me arise in the morning by the grace of God, to face the challenges of the day...that no matter what... i shall survive because i must... for in me lies the spirit of a warrior and the spirit of my ancestors before me who died so that i might live.
As a Spiritual warrior, i can not honor them and myself no less than to rise up and carry my "cross" with me.

Thank you for listening...

What inspires me?
one word: Hope

the thins that keep me goin friends and family because it would be a waste if every time they stood up for me were to be wasted on me ending mlife for nothing....

ahhh yes Mordes..the fluffy bunny crap
bun bun would have fun with that......
bit o sluggy humor there....
but yes...I would certainlt miss bitching bout the rest o life too.....
hey morrigon...have a chat with mordes about life without eyesight....he has a bit of understanding there.......not personal...but close nonetheless....

my neice Alexis inspires me cause she is so cute and before she came along i was being bad in everyway possible but when she was born i vowed that she won't ever have to write or see me in jail cause i'll be setting a bad sight for her.

Jesus, and God.
no matter what they have always been there for me. and i just can't help but be amazed at what Jesus went through for what is right. He is truly outstanding.

other than that, i would have to say love keeps me going. it has taught me what true pain is, and what true joy is. i love it when things make balance like that.
of this same token, my friend Jess. i have yet to meet a nicer person besides my bro.

Courage, Conviction, Bravery and Optimism...

My friends and family. Not to mention curiosity to see what each new day will bring. It may be good, or even bad but it may not be the same thing twice in a row.

Yes, thats nice point:
CURIOSITY

for me, that would be my wife an kids. without them I dont know what reason i would have for gettin up an going into a thankless job, day in an day out. even if i have a crappy day at work, i can get in a better mood just knowing that my kids will be home and will be attacking me as soon as i come in the door. that in itself can get me through a day.

*and this bump*
A very intersting thread. My psychotherapist would be proud!

Two words and two people: Darren and love, my Mum and love.

I don't want anyone else having the satisfaction of knowing they beat me .....the bastards ....grrrrr....LOL

Also recently what gets me up in the morning ..is the same as what gets me up at night ..... what stops me from doing chores ...makes me late for work ...prevents me from eating etc ...is coming here and seeing if certain people I love dearly are here ....okay over with the mushy stuff ...just had to point out I am addicted to being here ...*hangs her head in shame* ...LOL

my girlfriend easilyblue
my baby sister
and the people i care about

All the people we love inspire us by the sound of it.

apperently so yet there r so many people that say they don't belive in love or love is a joke yet they just told everyone what keeps them from bitting that bullet, overdocing,or cutting themselfs to where they bleed to death no people sit back and relax and take in what im about to say and understand it how ever u may wish

keep in mind if what i may say might offend u, if it does open ur mind, if it doesn't offend u ur not looking deepenough

love is very much like confusion both very powerful tools towards one an other
depending on how u want to use them love can be such bliss that it blinds u from the world or it can drive u crazy but along with love where do u draw the line from love to obsession to lust as well as consussion where do u draw the line from screwing with someones mind to driving htat person crazy to jsut leave me alone ur not making any sence.. love like confusion can be a total mind f*ck... so i leave u with this how do u know when to truly say u love someone with out confusing them......

What inspires me is the fact that people care about me when I think that I'm not wanted. They are what's keeping me in this world.

This is not about love though.

the people i care for
the people who care for me
i would not abandon them
for the world

i tell ya what gets me up in the morning...concerts, sexy rockstars, and my little sisters that need me i luv em ♥

...nothing anymore, except to get up and leave my house...but then again who really cares about what i or anyone has to say, why do you bother to write these pointless bloggs ..

ok, something that hasn't got to do with love........ I wake up in the mornings to see how the day starts. I love looking at the sun rise. I like how my house goes from blue to a hazy brown. I love looking at the sunset. I love looking at the moon. I don't think I'll be here if I couldn't walk under the moon light, or sail in the ocean while it's foggy. I like when it rains. I will want to live life a thousand times so that I could experience nature for the first time again and again.

Music..... Its the only thing in my life that dosent lie , cheat ,steal ... argue...Its where Im absolutley free to think and feel...and do whatever I want...It dosent pass judgement..and it dosent take offence....its perfect in everyway.

Music is all there realy is for me, that and making my way to the old abandon mill and then ofcourse the old graveyard. With out those there would be no reason to get up, (still think sometimes there isnt.)

Nothing really. I supose the thought that im a lot better off than a lot of people, and that one day things will go right.

thats a great question...im not really sure maybe my friends knowing that at least some of them have to care about me....i guess i unno

My inspiration abounds in those who love me, knowing that I cannot leave them. For a self-occasioned death could be nothing more than a selfish escape to circumstances that can always be confronted.

If I didn't try it I don't know what it's like!

it usually turns out to be like shit, but tommorow is another one I can try.

My two most important reasons for me to continue getting up are:

Emaleth Jade - my 9 year old daughter that is so much like me that it is truly scary

Michael Tristian - my 7 year old son that truly makes laughter sound like music.

And recently, my husband. He makes realize that there are ppl out there with hearts.

Why I get up? Dunno really..
No work, no school, no friends to hang out with.. Basicly the only reason is to sit behind my computer, and wait for my girlfriend to get online.. Thats basicly my whole day.. Kinda sux huh :p

Well mine would be the fact when I wake up in the morning knowing that I'm loved very much so and knowing that the love will never end.

We all want the same thing.

my buddies on here. my friends that are real close to me. my neice. but somedays that doesn't seem to wanna keep me alive. i guess it all really depends on the day.

I suppose teh best thing about what inspires me is that what insires me is always changing. I guess it suprises me everyday.

the thing that inspires me to keep going is the fact that i don't know what the future holds and i would to know what does happen

it could be so many things
for one the love of my life bloodykisses24
well i guess thats enough for me...

nothing inspires me, i just live each day as it comes i have run out of hope or desire since nothing good has come my way and i dont expect it to either

First of all there is not one thing in this world that would inspire me to just end it all. I love life and I have had many hardships in my life. So, when you go through life and make it through all the rough stuff you learn to love being alive. Being a mother also helps me to love life. My hubby is very good to me and I won't go into how many relationships and crap I had to go through before finding my mate. So, I have learned to appreciate all that are in my life and my life is important to me and to them.

umm i guess knowing that tomorrow is a new day and if i am really depressed and i am having a really bad day, that tomorrow is a whole new day and a fresh start...(yea i know that sounds really lame but it's true)

The woman I love. What more do I need.

Well, I have very important things that inspire me. Any one who knows me, knows that I have been sick almost all my life. But as of March 9th 2003, my inspiration was, at the time, my soon to be husband, Michael. As of July 17th 2004, my 2 beautiful twin daughters, Queiviera Mercedez and Eve Astarlah and Michael. Now, I am due to have twin boys on May 10th. No names for them yet, Michael and I are stumped, but they are my newest inspiration, the reason I get up every evening and go to work, despite everything else.

Finding answers to questions which cannot be answered...

and all of the emotions; hate, 'love', pain, passion... Without them we're trully dead

The reason that I still wake is the love of my children that keep me strong. The Wisdom of my mother. And the friendship of my brother. And myself.......I have giving my own self a reason not to end my life, becuase I still have a whole lot to give and a whole lot to get in return

...oh yea and my momma too i think we need eachother.

hhmmm.... I have only one reason for living... it is the girl that I love... other than that I wouldn't care if someone drove by me and decided they need some target practice... but yeah since I met her I have always had a reason for living... you all would know her as TasteOfHate... and as long as I am here no one better fuck with her or you shall be needing a body bag

Pepsi, candycorn. and video games and wendy #2 value meal....... and Homer Simpson

The thought that what if I fail even dying yet again

one is someone that cares about me and i share that feeling. other thing is my love of writing.

i don't have a clue i have a bimbo identical twin sister who i do sadly care about my parents are never home off doing some thing. so yeah even though i hate her my sister is what keeps me going. shit that is sad

my kids make me get up in the morning

my kids make me get up in the morning or i would stay in bed

my dead uncle my friends online and offline

when it comes to my poetry, different things inspire me. sometimes when i see something fun or interesting, that will inspire me to draw it. But to keep my inspiration on life, that is everyday when i look forward to tomorrow.

To help others go on, to be a reason someone gets up and lives each day, my boyfriend because he needs me, and the dream that one day I will make a difference or something!

I dont know if anything inspires anymore other than survival itself

     Sense of self... I am here living for purposes I do not know still... but I must not give up this gift of life though sometimes it is more of a curse than a gift. I am still here am I not? So I made my own purpose and travel in my own design even if some say that a plan already set out for me... that I have a destiny... Well there is no use in brooding what those things may be and on how am I going to get that path... every moment would be wasted if I only think of what I may be. I'll take my chances and do what my will wants.

Thinking.

I like thinking.

Learning.

I don't know nearly enough yet.

Squishy stuff.

Seriously. Clay, mud, whatever. playing with squishy stuff like clay lets my mind free itslef to think on more levels than the usual 5 to 7.

Nothing really mushy inspires me to get out of bed every morning. Selfish? sure. Honest? ok. I like learning. I like thinking. I like me.

I inspire me to get out of bed in the morning. It's interesting to figure out what I am going to be doing that day.

oh another thing that inspires me is that "update your status" button on the right------>. Not to mention this site alone helps aid in my getting up early every day. :) Thank you VR

nothing, maybe just the things i like to do like watchin tv,VR, music etc....
