Challenge
what keeps you going?
i wrote a poem for the monthly poetry challenge for april (it was to write your longest poem). it's called "51. i write too many poems about death" which was 50 reasons why i want to live (in case you want to check it out on my profile for inspiration). i was a suicidal teen, so that's where it comes from for me, but even if you've never wanted to die, i want to know the reasons you want to live - anything from big things to small things

I need go no further than my garden to find a reason to live. The colors, flavors, and changes of my plants are a source of inspiration and therapy. If you're feeling down, plant a garden. If you don't have the place, money, or health for that, get a houseplant. Nourish it regularly with water and love. Watch it thrive. You'll probably feel better. You might even flourish.
