A combination of suspecting there's experientially nothing after this, the potential risk that there MIGHT be something experiential after this (and that something may be terrible), the more mundane risks involved with trying to kill yourself and failing, and the impact that killing yourself has on the other people around you who care about you are all pretty strong motivations to not go leaping headfirst into the dark abyss.

But that being said, my life is pretty chill and enjoyable in and of itself. I don't ascribe any great meaning to it or feel like I somehow have to leave a lasting legacy or make a lasting impact, but just the process of learning and experiencing new things, having social interactions with people I care about, and generally enriching myself as a person (by my own standards) gives me more than enough reasons to wake up every morning.

Now granted, if I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, suffered from some majorly-impairing injury (like blindness), fell into crippling bankruptcy, or otherwise had my life spiral into a situation where I was miserable every single day I'd probably be much more inclined to snuff it (I'm not really afraid of dying, per se, and I don't necessarily attach any metaphysical stigma to suicide), but at the moment I have no real need to.
