The thing that makes my life worth living is being alive itself. Whenever I feel suicidal I remind myself how much better simply existing is than being nothing. Death is the most permanent thing. I find it hard to accept that I'll never think or feel forever. I don't want eternal life but I'd love to live for a few hundred years at least. I just can't imagine doing everything I possibly want within the next 50 or so years (and that's if I'm lucky). I hang onto the hope that science will make serious break throughs in regards to anti-aging or that I'll live to see the technological singularity... Maybe.
So like Kellawgs, thoughts of what might be in store for us keep me around. Things like virtual reality are already on the brink of being released within the next 5 years or so. Virtual reality! Not to mention near photo realism exists now, and actual photo realism in commercial games could very well exist in the gen after this gen of consoles (PS4 and Xbox One). Things like that were science fiction when I was a kid. I just really hope I don't die before any of this, because there are so many amazing things in store for us.
Things that make my life enjoyable though are animating, drawing, sleeping, Internet, games... Just going for a walk is enjoyable. There's so many amazing things out there. The level of complexity of everything just to simply exist... It's mind blowing how connected everything is. It's absolutely beautiful.
