1. Because you deserve to live.
2. Because your life has value, whether or not you can see it.
3. Because it was not your fault.
4. Because your daily battle give others hope and strength.
5. Because you will feel better, eventually.
6. Because each time you confront despair you get stronger, and you can’t know now what you will ultimately be able to do with this new morsel of strength, what future battles you will be able to win.
7. Because if you die today you will never again feel love for another human being, or trust, or gratitude.
8. Because if you die today you will never again see sunlight pouring through the leaves of a tree, or a bird take flight, or feel the quality of light in winter.
9. Because even if it feels like time has become an unbearably heavy stone, it has not, and you only have to endure.
10. Because you have already won… you have known the cleverness and resiliency and courage and stubborn will to make it this far, and no one can take that away.
11. Because the will to live is not a cruel punishment, even if it feels like that at times: it is a priceless gift.
12. Because we need more warriors against this evil.
13. Because no one knows better than you the meaning of suffering, and agony deepens the heart.
14. Because it is critical that you survive.
15. Because you deserve the peace that will come after this battle is won, and it will be won, but only minute by minute.
