Reasons to live
for any time you need a reminder
Live for your friends
Live for your family
Live for yourself
Live to fight another day
Live to prove that you can achieve something
Live for that cute girl you saw the other day
Maybe you’ll see her again
Or that cute boy
Or that cute person
Whatever moves your furniture
Live for the fact that anything is possible
Live for other people
they need you
Live for all the good food you can eat
Live for all the books you can read
Live for the next Star Wars sequel
you KNOW there's gonna be at least one more
Live for the next season of that show you love
Live for the sunrise
an edge of pink above the trees
and a yellow bright ball peeking through
Live for the next five minutes
and the next five
and the next
and just keep going
Just live

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
