It is simple.

As you get older you begin to notice how everything deteriorates and declines. At first you see it in others and it's easy to accept. You just hide in cynicism and nihilism. But then you begin to see it in yourself. How everything gets old quicker, how you lose the childlike wonder, how your health and mind slowly but surely stop developing and actually start slowly declining, no matter how high your IQ is and how much you learn.

Then it hits you - how brief everything is, how every moment from now on will be lesser than the last one. And then you want to live! You want to live so much it hurts. To surround yourself not with stories and fictional worlds, but with people. To experience emotions, to experience love, to be loved, for this is something that soon will be forever lost for you, even before everything else. For someone to look at you and actually accept you for who you are and to tell you that to them you are everything they ever wanted. And then you want to experience things together and LOVE before you grow old and your mind, so clear right now, gets clouded and you just go into nothingness.
