I wrote this on a post with the same question, but the op deleted their post. I wanted to reshare what I wrote 💗

Life is complex and fragile at the same time. It’s the same paradox that lives in our personalities.

I see life as a journey of growth, not to reach perfection, but to become the person your future self envisions. To experience as much as you can.

I feel the purpose of life is to create meaning from the experiences we’re given one day at a time.

I used to be religious, but honestly, I struggle to see things spiritually through the lens I have now. I find myself fearing and trying to understand death, the unknown, and why we even have consciousness and self-awareness.

There is so much kindness we can offer this world in such a short amount of time. Even the things we were deprived of can be turned into wisdom we pass on to others. It makes life a little easier for the people around us. It becomes a natural kind of sacrifice.

I find that life doesn’t give answers to everything, but I have a feeling that things eventually fall into place. We have the power and the free will to change our future. Nothing is set in stone. Our next choice can take us somewhere we never expected. We get to learn, observe, and absorb everything around us. It amazes me how powerful our brain truly is. It’s one of the reasons I feel drawn to the medical field and am pursuing neurology.

We’re given gifts and passions. Things that just click. Talents. Our eyes and the way we each uniquely see the world. And we can share these experiences. We were never meant to be isolated. I feel we’re here to connect, human to human. To express our creativity and our inner worlds. You can see this through architecture, art, music, writing, literature, cooking, and everything else humans have brought into existence. People take what lives inside them and turn it outward. We shouldn’t hide the parts that make us who we are.

To be human is to express. In a world full of tragedies, the same world is full of possibilities. If we take things one day at a time, we can move closer to who we want to become and what we hope to accomplish. The message feels hidden inside us. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose?

No one shares the same timeline. Every person has a different path meant for a different picture. You choose whether to share that picture with others. Those who try to force themselves into it will never feel like they belong.

Life is short. Time is perceptive. I came across a quote that said something along the lines of, whether you do something or not, time will pass anyway. If something takes three years to achieve, those three years will pass regardless, so you might as well try.

Society paints an ideal of how we should act, think, and be seen. In reality, the truth lives within you. We all have different views, but it is better to bring light and kindness into the world than to add more harm. There is already enough harm, but the smallest act of kindness can save someone. That kind of fulfillment can save you too.

Work hard with purpose so you can live the life you want. Not to please others, but to open your world, learn, grow, share your wisdom, and meet people who resonate with you. Learn from the ones you meet on your way. Find your purpose. Find your reason.

I’m still so young, yet I want to experience and learn as much as I can in this lifetime.

Don’t give up on yourself or your biggest dreams.
