Off the top of my head: The reason I'm alive is because I'm afraid of dying. Probably not good enough, buy at least I'm not suicidal.

SO you're stuck being alive, because the only alternative is death, and you're afraid of that.
Make the most of it.
Your atoms, your carbon emissions, the air you breathe, the food you consume, the money spent on educating, clothing, housing you... you are privileged to be where you are in the world, to be in the world at all, and you're taking it for granted and allowing yourself the luxury of living an aimless life. FInd something you can do, some way of making a difference before you (inevitably) die. I don't care what it is, but it has to be something you can give your heart and soul to. DOn't be another casualty of capitalism, only existing from pay day to pay day, your mind filled with things you need or want to consume and how you can afford to do that. Live an extraordinary life. Whatever you believe in, make it your purpose. Please just don't allow yourself to be a waste of atoms.
