How long has it been since you’ve had something to live for?

[Worthless loser]

13 years for me. Life only ever gets worse.

 

[departing]

~16 years. Time flies when you're having fun.

Id say about 8 years for me.

Ive only been happy and felt I had a purpose to live for a few years of my life 16-17 and 19-21.

At 22 my life went downhill and I've never recovered from that. I've had my ups and downs between 22 and 29 with 27-28 being decent but not bad, I wasnt happy during those years but I wasn't sad either just felt semi content. 29 has been the worst year of my life by far. I'm still 29.

I have no idea. I can't remember.

Oh, well, a long time. I have two cats so I guess I can't really let them just like that. I know, just like the thing : if you kill yourself your dog wouldn't understand.
But more seriously, it was never a big pink joyful life, but when I was 13/14 I still had friends, and could still go out. And had glimpses of hope. So about, between 4 and 5 years since I didn't have a reason to live.

17 years, i miss my dog. They were the only one who noticed I was going through abuse and they stuck by my side as a kid. They lived to be 15 and when they died I felt alone.

If we're not talking false hope then never in my 28 years.
I was thrown in an incubator for my first 6 months due to health.

I've never really had anything in my life to love for except for my mum and my sister who I don't see often. I've never had a job, friends, a relationship. I am like an empty vessel.

2007 when I spent lots of time with my crush who was the first girl that ever requited my love. So that's coming up on 13 years now. Of course, as has always been the case with my love life, the universe set into motion the most improbable and preposterous series of events to sabotage it (we were never even able to become official), and completely obliterate all the other parts of my life along with it as collateral damage.

To this day I have still in my entire life yet to experience an actual, official romantic relationship.

 

[FreedomInDeath]

I have never had one. Always just existed. I was hoping to find one but I think 30 years is enough time to wait. Time to let go.

 

[StillWaiting]

Never had one. Just living by the flow until I realized I am tired of it
