I think there’s a resistance to answering a question like this honestly.
Creating: Writing, drawing, painting
Relating: It’s not “family” that makes life worth living, I think, but the relationships we create with members of our family, and the way we maintain and build those relationships. Same goes for friends, lovers, business partners, students, and everyone else.
Helping: Being able to lend a hand to people in need – however drastic or trivial that need may be – strikes me as an important part of life.
Realizing: Making, working towards, and achieving goals, no matter what those goals are.
Letting go of restraints, imagining new possibilities, testing yourself against others or against yourself, finding humor and joy.
Growing: Learning new things, improving my knowledge and ability in the things I’ve already learned.
What about you? What makes your life worth living?
