Reasons To Stay Alive

Lately I've been feeling down for no particular reason. Some might say it's the weather being so cold and gloomy, or the fact that highschool is coming to an end. Whatever the reason might be, my bad mood changed in almost an instant when I came across a list that actor Matthew Gray Gubler wrote entitled: "reasons to stay alive". I have decided to make my own list based on what he wrote to be able to look back at whenever I'm in one of my moods where I get random spurts of unhappiness. That way, others and myself can be reminded of the great things In life that are reasons to stay alive.
