The only thing to figure out is that there is nothing to figure out, you just exist.
You arenāt a project that has a final answer, you are a just person.
Even if there was such an answer, what if you never āfigure it outā? Will that stop you from living the life you want to live?
The answer to that question should always be no (unless youāre a scoundrel then control yaself)
Just existing isnāt the end of this, but choosing to live will be

Trying to answer this made me realize that I really donāt have a solid answer.
I remember at my Dadās funeral, the priest said, āIām sorry, he was much too youngā and he died in his 60s, so I started fixating on the amount of time we have and everything that we can do and how many lives we can touch, but that lost steam pretty quickly.
Then it was all about my little brother and helping him grow up and talking to him about my mistakes and just being a friend that I didnāt always have at his age, but if Iām being honest, sometimes that task starts to feel a little tall.
Right now, itās probably the amount of love in my life. I think that 3, maybe even 2 years ago, I felt so lonely and like I had no place in anyoneās life, and itās crazy to think that I donāt feel that anymore. I couldnāt visualize what my future could look like, and how many people I would love and how many of them would love me back, so now itās about what else Iām not able to visualize yet that could still very well happen in my future.
And sometimes I just think, ādamn Iāve been here for so long already and so much shit has happened, I just gotta see it through at this point. where else can the story goā and that kinda does it.
And I also think that if I really believe that we all have the capacity for change, I wanna see how often I can change and how much I can change and just seeing what I can do and whatās possible.
Long story short, I donāt really know and Iām not sure if I even answered your question (mostly because I canāt go back and check while writing this š
) but I think that my answers change frequently and the longer I do it, I think the answers have started to come easier, and I hope in the future that they donāt need to be as substantial. Hoping a ājust cuzā can get me by someday.

I never thought of my life as a thought experiment. But a paradoxical freak of nature. One of those exceptions to the rule. The irregular verb.
I guess in this world where all the well-meaningness of everyone and everything who wants to tell you who you are, I say there is nothing like: finding the answer for yourself!
Clue. there's more one "right" answer :-)

one thing i've learned is that there is absolutely nowhere you should be or anything you should be striving for. u r where you r for a reason, donāt fight the current. knowing this has eased a lot of my anxieties about my future and what's to come. as long as i am avid about cultivating joy and doing things that give me a sense of purpose (reading books, journaling, quality time w/ friends + family) i know that everything else will fall into place. trust this and i promise it will prove to b fruitful! any action done in the present is a key factor in what your future will manifest as - one question i always ask myself is: is your current routine bringing you joy???

Pain is a part of nature and the cycle of life
To complain and stress about pain is to complain about the beauty of life
The beauty of life is not only the happy moments in life but the fact that something comes after,
Pain is part of what it means to be human
It is not the enemy
Even if it was,
Acceptance and love for yourself will triumph everytime

Itās so beautiful as a previous book worm to rediscover your love for books. School can make it tiresome to read sometimes but a quick point of view change is needed.
Reading leisurely can be so relaxing. Changing my perspective to relaxation instead of it being a āchoreā or reminding me of school helped me massively.
Got an urge to scroll? Pick up that book!
