[Serious] Former suicide attempters, what made you realize that life is worth living?

I’ve only ever told this story to my fiancé but here goes. Been dealing with depression and anxiety since 18( currently 26 ) and had recently moved out of state to college. There I continued to get more depressed as I am not a social person and have few friends. Started to consider suicide and did research. Finally had found the method I wanted to do and had planned my “last day” even made a video saying goodbye, well the time comes and I’m just sitting in my apartment alone, tearing up and scared. Then I hear a knock on my door and lo and behold it’s all my buddies wanting to hang out and eat, etc. I suddenly realize what the hell I was about to do and snap out of it so to speak as I’m suddenly just surrounded by my closest friends . I realized that people do care, and just being with people I love makes life worth living . Even just the small things like goofing off with friends . Looking back I still wonder what would have happened had my friends not knocked on my door.
