My life is pretty darn great at the moment but for some others it’s quite the opposite. Some people feel like life is just not worth living anymore or maybe just have bad days but whenever life pushes you down it gets harder and harder to continuously try again and stand back up. It begins to seem like it’s not worth getting up for after all. Sometimes all you need is a bit of help, a hand to pull you up, because things will get better in the end and there’s so much to live for!
So here are 41 things that make me happy and make my life worth living, hopefully they’ll influence your mindset or make you smile and realise that life is a wonderful thing.
