There are so many reasons to die, there are so many ways to die, there are so many ways to kill yourself. There isn’t a lot of reasons to live. There isn’t a lot of ways to live. There isn’t a lot of ways to just make your self live…

You don’t need to make yourself live. You already are – it’s a passive process. It requires no reasons or overarching direction and it finds its own path in time.
LetItGo, I would say there are equal reasons to live or die. Butt I think you need to experience more of the reasons to live before you move on. The greatness of life has been eluding you for a while.
No, not for some of us that are way beyond the spectrum of a worthwhile life. Some shipwrecks can’t be salvaged. The Titanic’s dead hull lies rotting at the bottom of the sea.
I wish I could go before my niece and nephew are old enough to know. I know no one cares.
What makes a life worthwhile? The titanic is not a living thing, and at no time in the past was it a living thing. Now, if some living creature wanted to go boating and decided that raising the Titanic would be a great way to do it, I’d imagine they might need to look into finding a good yacht broker instead.
“aren’t”, not “Isn’t”
I can picture it filled with lights and voices, the way people say inanimate objects are filled with life when near the activity of humans. Seemingly “normal” people. Once grand and atop the sea, now it resides in the opposite, cold, broken.
I can’t answer what makes life worthwhile, as I expect it to be different for everyone or nothing at all. Whatever I can’t have while I’m passively dying.
Now no humans inhabit it, but I can guarantee that enormous volumes of aquatic life now calls it home.
So is my destiny, in a much quieter and spectacular flameout. At least the cruise line industry learned to add more lifeboats.
*less spectacular
Why on earth do people think there is such a thing as destiny, still? It must be the influence of Hollywood, or maybe a trick of the mind – the past is a solid, immutable thing that’s just sitting there like a picture negative, so maybe it’s easy to assume that the future is the same way. Who can tell? It’s like John Maynard Keynes said, though; In the long run, we’re all dead. While we’re alive, though, it’s a damn sight harder to predict the future.
“Why on earth do people think there is such a thing as destiny, still?”
Because superfluous skepticism, and because believing it’s all already decided, means you have no real control, and therefore cannot be responsible for the outcomes.
