What do you live for?

I live for myself. A while ago I was talking to one of my friends who is older than me and she told me this, "Right now you're young so take advantage of that. Do whatever makes you happy. Don't think about why you shouldn't or you can't do something. Just make it happen because when you get to my age you won't remember those reasons why you held yourself back. All you'll know is that you didn't do it and you'll regret it." This stuck with me and made me realize that my youth won't last forever. In a few years I'll probably start a family, get a mortgage and do other stereotypical things. Until that time though, I've decided to live selfishly and put my happiness first. Why not make my life a giant adventure?

I live for recognition. Being an individual who can inspire others along the way.

What do I live for ? 

Love.

The love I don't have, the love I give, & the love I forever dream of..

Squee.

The squee that I get, the squee that I share, & the squee that I cause ;P

Life itself.

The one I'm not living, the one(s) I'm ~vicariously living, & the one(s) I wish I had..

♥

Note: "Lulz" counts under Squee xD

My own happiness I guess? Or rather: myself. If I do happen to find that special someone ... I'd also live for love, but not at the moment.
Just enjoying the present moment as well... not sure how else to word it, but I love life so much I wish I could live forever, haha :D

That's what I'm trying to find out. Do you guys ever felt lost? Have you ever been in the place where you see others doing their thing, but you don't want that routine life their living? Is it me only me and I need to check myself into a mental institution?

I don't know, if it's about what I do about my life, the answer would be dramas, I only watch dramas, I don't have other interests at all (that's a lie, I listen to Lana Del Rey's songs too), but what do I actually live for? It's true that I only watch dramas the whole day, but it's not dramas that makes me wanna live, so I would say that I live for my mom, if not my mom I would probably have no real reason to live, I need to stay here for her to live well, but if she died I have no idea what I would live for so I'm quite sure it's for my mom...

JPT you are not crazy. I think that is great that you do not want take the same routine others are taking. There's got to be more to this life then what we can see, or then what is the point of it all?

I guess to answer the original question... I live for Jesus. I guess you can say, I found hope in him, when I had no hope. His love is unchanging, and he satisfies, when nothing in the world satisfies. And it was all because he rescued me and gave me life, so now I have all I need in him and live for him. I'm not perfect and do stupid things at times, but I can rest in him, and know it is about what he accomplished for me, and not what I had to do to prove myself to him. I don't know where I would be without him.
