The world can be a pretty bleak place, and whether you're dealing with internal or external factors, sometimes it feels like things will never get better. When you're in this mindset, it can be easy to go to a dark place where you feel like giving up. However, the world isn't all bad. For all the negative things out there, there are also just as many rainbows, puppies, chocolate bars, and good friends.
Of course, though, when times are tough, it can be easy to forget those beautiful things about life. So to jog your memory and hopefully inspire an even more comprehensive list, here are fifteen amazing things to hold on for:
1. To see all of the movies that haven't come out yet
Toy Story 4, Captain Marvel, The Lion King Live Action, Wicked--there are some great movies already scheduled to be released and even more that haven't even been conceptualized yet.
2. To pet all the animals you haven't pet yet
All of the puppies, kitties, ferrets, pet rocks, etc. need YOUR love!
3. To enjoy your favorite warm drink in the fall/winter
Whether your choice is coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or a chai latte, the feeling of snuggling up with a warm drink when it's cold outside is hard to beat.
4. Hugs!
Whether from a stranger or a friend, hugs aren't something to miss out on
5. To learn new interesting things
The world is filled with information, and so much of it is right at our fingertips
6. To travel to places you've never seen before

7. The feeling of being outside in the fresh air with the sun on your skin
Connecting with the Earth and getting away from other responsibilities and troubles is a great way to remember all the good and beauty that there is in the world.
8. Laughing at (or telling!) a good joke
There's nothing like a good, wholehearted belly laugh
9. Seeing your favorite artist or band in concert
GiphyAll I'm saying is that no one should die without seeing Beyonce in concert at least once
10. Discovering new music, books, TV shows, etc.
The world is filled with hidden gems just waiting to be found
11. Sales at your favorite stores
GiphyThere's really no better feeling than a great deal on your favorite things
12. Foods that fill your stomach & your soul
Mac n' cheese, brownies, chips, pizza, and other mouthwatering delights.
13. The ability to help other people
Helping others is one of the most rewarding things you can do. You'll learn a lot about the world and yourself.
14. Curiosity about what's out there
Sometimes when we truly don't believe things will get better, it is enough to keep going simply out of curiosity of what may happen if we hang in there a little longer. Hope and determination can feel far out of reach when we're in a really low place, and curiosity can feel like an easier feeling to process.
15. The world needs you
It's as simple as that. You are an important part of this world, and your place in it is incredibly valuable. There are more mountains for you to move, people to inspire, and problems to conquer.
There is always a reason to hold on; tomorrow needs you. Whether it's the bigger things like being there for your friends and family or something as small as a cute dog picture, every reason to stay alive and keep thriving is important and valid.
