I would just like to ask everyone something...

What do you live for? What do you want to grow up as?

Please share your thoughts below.

I live for a few people. Which is actually really bad since they always seem to come and go. Without them, though, I would already be dead.
I know that's not what you meant, but it's the only thing I think I live for.
I want to be a psychologist when I graduate. Or maybe a writer. My parents think that acting is a dead-end job, even though I really love it.

My email is jayusdavery@gmail.com

If enough people commented on this, I have a feeling that this would be an insightful thread.

As for me, I live for... well the sake of living? The way humans live and the world around us may seem boring and mundane but it is still so special simply because it is there. Whether someone thinks life is a gift or a curse is up to them, but if you ever take the time to watch a sunset or sunrise or immerse yourself in a good book in utter silence - even while the world is crumbling around you - then I think the simple act of living is worth living for.

As for my future, well I have absolutely no fucking idea. All that I know that I would never give up art ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I live for information and entertainment. I'm sure I will get a lot of negative comments about it but it's true. I enjoy being on the internet or reading or watching tv or movies or video games. If I could make a career out of it that would be amazing but it's pretty obvious that that is very hard to do

I live for tranquility and anime all is good if you have those
but I want to reach my limit in everything before I die.
Call me old fashioned but that's me.

I live for quiet moments when the earth seems still and you feel a sense of unity with everything. Like even though there are bad times you know that everything will be okay. When I grow up I want to be a photographer. It has always been a passion of mine.

Recently I found myself after a deep depression. I start again drawing, and I want to make manga or any type of cómic, I want to share my ideals and valors to all the people I can. Anime and rap let me the force to try to change, anime has teach me a lot of things, and rap too. By the same form It has changed me, I think I can change people. I want to try teach some people the 'good things' about not hating, about be compressive with other, and about to search the hapinnes in him/herself.
My reason to life is that I have a dream and I want to get it. Futhermore, I think that the way to get it Will be awesome too.
PD: Sorry for my bad english, I have to practise it more.

I live out of curiosity. There's a lot of things I want to know, a lot of things I want to be. People I want to see again. I go with the flow of things. I let life take me where it shoves me. Occasionally I give myself a little control, but when life appears to be going well, I let time take over.

What do you think you live for?

Live is beautifull and cruel in the same time. i just wanna to live the way i have live now.
i think the world is so beautifull and cruel in the same time too. but, i really love this world, so I wanted to see the world i live in the future. I'm really looking forward to when that happens!
#sorry for bad grammar

I live for the fun in life. Sure in time bad comes along and hits you down but you get up anyways. I get up for the future to see happiness in my future.

I live for the sake of just living. I live to cheer people up when no one else would, I live to learn, I live to be a living being. I hope the join the army soon, and hopefully also be able to go to college. From there, I will either be a baker or a mortician.

I live for the girl that might never love me back...

Curiosity

I live because dying seems stupid.

I live for knowledge, and the hope that I'll get to go to space some day.

I live for the creation and discovery of beautiful things and places. Mostly I live for proving myself wrong and pushing my boundaries.

I want to grow up to be a criminologist. I want to unveil mistaken thinkings, stereotypes, myths, etc. This is in the context of war, rape, genocide, racism and gender inequalities.

I live for the possibilities. I don't know what I might miss, so I live for the potential of one day being a part of something beautiful that would make everything worth it.

I live for experiences. Before I die, I want to experience every feeling and scenario to the fullest, then help other people avoid those scenarios. Even if I die because of these, I'd feel satisfied by helping people worth helping.
What do you live for?

I live to help others. Whether it be cheering them up or making them laugh, I wana be the person to put a smile on other people's faces. It always feels nice seeing people smile, laugh or even chuckle.

It would seem, in my collective experience, that I live for the sake of others. I love to help and provide service, but personally, the most meaningful thing I've done for people is help them reach the next stage of understanding themselves or the world around them. I'm speaking of an internal understanding that makes for growth as a person.

I seem to have provided a catalyst of words for many people who have crossed my path. Something urges them to ask me for help and they experience an elation on a tri-fold level (Intellectually, Spiritually, Physically) through partly my listening to them, and partly their listening to me.

Sometimes they ask questions that I've never considered answers to, but in a few moments of an open and receptive state of mind, the answers they need are channeled through me.

As for what I want to grow up as?

...

...

I guess I already do it.

I want to teach, and the fact is, I already do. Sure I don't have the degree in secondary education that I yearn for, but that's superficial. If I have an opportunity to teach, I seize it - Just as well if I have an opportunity to learn, I seize it.

I also want to write, which I already do. Sure, the novels I am writing aren't published or even close to finished yet, but I make progress regularly. I did manage to get a little article published on a small time site, and I post poems, prose, and rantings on a blog sometimes too.

I guess the best way that I could answer that particular question is that I don't want there to be an answer. I don't ever want there to be a point where I say 'OK I'll do this for the rest of my life' - as I visualize it, once I obtain a degree in secondary education, I will attend school for yet another degree once I get work in that field, and continue the cycle.

I don't want there to be a point where I say 'Ok, I'm grown now.'

I want to always grow; more and more with each passing day.
The more I grow, the more knowledge and wisdom I have to pass onto others.

I live to grow, I grow to live.

I live for my dad... hes always been there. I want to grow up someone he will be proud of and also someone people will remember...

I exist and am a part of the universal scheme as all that stand beside me. All humans have a purpose in this world, a divine goal that they subconsciously desire to fulfil at all costs. I know what I exist for. It might terrify or unnerve some, however I am pretty sure that I am not alone with this.
After all, I am a normal person with their own definition of insanity and "insainty".
I serve the high art of taking another individual's life.
I live to murder.
