Reasons to Stay Alive



1) Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch.

2) Children.

3) You need to stay alive because someone out there loves you.

4) The Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland.

5) If you stay up all night, sunrise is even more beautiful.

6) Because even waking up with a hangover or getting you heart broken is better than eternal sleep.

7) You need to help a friend.

8) If you are a man, you need to try wearing lipstick. Just once.

9) If you are a woman, you must know the joy of assembling a Glow-in-the-Dark Wolfman model kit.

10) Watching the leaves on an aspen tree shimmer in the Rocky Mountain breeze, and finding out that this is why they are sometimes called "quakies."

11 ) One day, you won't be scared anymore.
