10 reasons to stay alive

if you're looking for a reason to stay alive, you're doing a really good job so far ❤️ keep going

hi, i am joey and you and me are a lot more similar than you may care to believe. we both sometimes we feel lost, lonely, loved, unloved, happy and sad at the same time or absolutely nothing at all. I get that, so let's talk about it.

my dad told me, its a gift that i feel how i feel, im a very emotional person who holds onto emotions and feels them intensly now or later on. he made me realise that this is a gift and now when i have those feelings im greatful that i can refeel things because it reminds me im human, i make mistakes, i fail, but i have alot to improve on, id rsther feel intensely than be cold and shake things off

You just saved me from myself today. Having a really rough time mentally and feeling all of the spectrum of emotion and disappointment mostly. Thank you for being there when there is no one else.

I don’t do this at all, I don’t comment on videos. But lately I’ve been having a real hard time, gone through heartbreak, I’ve learnt a lot about myself, my patterns and my behaviours. Faced a lot of regrets too. During that time I started an apprenticeship, I thought it was all coming together. But now I realised I’m not happy, this job doesn’t make me happy it doesn’t fulfil me, I feel like a total failure in love and life and I just turned 29 today. I have great friends and a supportive family and a great therapist but I can’t help but feel something is missing, at the end of the day I know the responsibility falls on me for change. There are many reasons to stay alive but the thought of pushing through and repeating the same mistakes and patterns that I can’t seem to break is often too much. I’m at a cross roads. I’m burnt out and I don’t know what to do anymore. Friends and family are what’s keeping me alive right now, it’s made me realise that money, a stable job or relationship means nothing if you can’t love and tend to yourself. I needed to hear this today, and I hope for better days and changes ahead. Peace be with you all who are struggling too.

when you said, “it’s time for you to understand yours.” wow thank you, joey.

i haven't left my bed in 3 days now. got a mental breakdown, i'm tired, i didn't eat anything today. and then this video comes along. i'm still laying in bed, but bursting out in tears now.. thank you for reminding us that we kinda have a reason to be here, even if we didn't figure out yet which reason it is ❤

[IsaacKingsExperiences-ugnl]

struggling with my mental health right now and it doesn't help that my grandma has just died aswell, but this video has changed my train of thought to a more postitive side of myself i didnt even know, thank you so much for this

[nimamoradi]

Im going through a heartbreak and im feeling alone and not being good enough... and listening to you talking just helps me... I think you understand it❤

[jeremiahw]

Literally crying my eyes out. It's been so hard lately. Thank you for reminding me that I DO want to live. I don't know why I do, but maybe I will find out

[moonlitseranade]

you kinda added more days to my life..i wasn't really sure how long i could bear it all but after watching your video, all my reasons seem so insignificant because i feel that there is someone out there who's feeling the same but still choosing to live on..and that is so brave of you joey! this video really helped me change my perspective of seeing the negativity as and im thankful to you for that <3

[mayra]

Joey, I can’t even begin to explain how much I understand everything you said. I am here because I want to keep trying, because life is so beyond what I feel and see in the present moment. For a long time I didn’t want to be here that is a truth, but I’ve come to realice that there’s time. Today I may not be feeling my best but tomorrow can change. And one day you wake and feel this new air inside you and there it is. It changed.

Thank you❤all the way from Argentina.

[jumpingrabitinthesand]

Hey Joey, I have been watching your videos for years now if not from the beginning, and I have to say I love them all. You have meant so much for a lot of people including myself. We all love you!

10. My friends call me when they need their work complete
9. I can't forget my mistake
8. I can never fit in
7. I have a broken left hand and and burnt right foot
6. I always get embarrased of my actions
5. It actually is
4. I am alone
3. Yes I am
2. Yes, I wanted to be someone else. Yet I'm here
1. I also don't know why am I alive

Realizing that we all came up searching for this cause nobody in the people around us would actually tell us these things and give us support and motivation to live on.

Thanks for being there for us who have lost all purpose of life. It’s really tough to convince the mind when death seems to easier than being alive.

I’ve only found your channel recently, but I feel it’s already helped me so much. I haven’t lived a live devoid of suffering, but I’ve learned that doesn’t necessarily make it any easier. I can’t tell why, but your videos have connected to me in ways that I didn’t know I needed. I’m going through a rough end to a relationship right now, and I’ve really struggled with picking myself back up at times.

I know for sure that I mean this for so many more people than just myself, but thank you. Truly thank you for the content you make, and for sharing your passions in the way that you do. I hope you one day feel as supported as you help so many others to feel. ❤
