I have recently come to realize how meaningless and vain life can sometimes be, like going shopping, why can I afford to spend an insane amount on clothes and food while people on the other side of the world are starving for a piece of bread? Looking at life from a different perspective and realizing that the small things we complain about are nothing compared to what people have to endure in life, makes you grateful for what you have and mindful of what you spend. If you're always complaining about your life then when will you find time to enjoy it? reading this back makes me realize that I am not destined to be a writer. byee

I am constantly having an existential crisis and I don't know what to make of it. I've realized that all I want in life is to find my purpose here and do something that leaves an impact. To do that I've realized that I've got to detach myself from things and people important to me

This might not necessarily apply to your situation, but I figured I’d share my thoughts anyway.
Often I think we buy into narratives we impose on ourselves about what will make us truly happy or content. People spend a lot of their lives chasing some lofty goal, often at great personal cost, both mental and physical. And once they get there, the result might not even be that great. There might be some complications that were never considered. Or, the day-to-day reality of the dream made manifest isn’t as glamourous or fulfilling as we thought it would be.
I’m not saying you need to disregard your aspirations. But I think it’s good to have an open mind about potential futures, even beyond what you see as being immediately fulfilling, or the “truest” version of yourself. I know it’s hard in our world to conceive of our self-worth outside of what we spend a great deal of our time doing. At the same time, I think it’s possible to strike a balance between what we think we want and what ends up making us happy.
Hope that makes sense.

i understand ur struggle, and its a very real thing to feel as though you have no identity in a capitalistic society that "sells" you your personality and interests. the best thing i reccommend you do is to unlearn that behavior first. unlearn to rely on items as a means of self expression. yes ofc fashion and makeup are great ways to express who you are (things that i love and partake in) but its important to recognize that this is a behavior we are taught; you buy something in the hopes it will achieve something, like how we buy band tees even tho we're total posers because we want to seem cooler than we really are. to live authentically and to discover who you really are as a person, you need to question WHO you are. what are your values? what are your thoughts on life? how do you feel about your existence? our life on this earth is limited and this is something everyone, regardless of religion, can agree on. instead of trying to find your identity thru what you can purchase, try to find it by questioning what it is you want from life. eventually, you will find that as you explore your values, morals, and desires you will naturally gravitate towards things that fulfill that. for example, i have a personal interest in human health and biology and i explored this interest by learning about nutrition. now, i love to cook and i love to make my own recipes. finding yourself shouldnt feel like a task that needs to get done. its more so something you do for the rest of your life, even as u die. to live is not "to find yourself", but rather to live a life that feels fulfilling. hope this helped!

started watching Poldark because of Aiden Turner, and someone on Reddit shared the view that it was a show in which things just happen and they didn't particularly find it interesting enough to continue watching, I thought that was the stupidest thing ever because isn't that what a show is supposed to be, a story where things happened. Well, I recently started watching Outlander, and only now I realize what the Redditor was trying to say. Both the shows set in the 18th century with quite similar conflicts would make you believe that both are one and the same, but unlike Poldark Outlander keeps you hooked with a strong story pace and dramatic conflicts while the issues and plot points in Poldark got repetitive and quite honestly boring.
