#findingapurpose

[everythingimagined]

As a person who grew up extremely lost, I have been passionate about finding a purpose. Coincidentally, last couple of days this phrase has been coming back to me different ways “ finding a purpose”.

It’s only now that I’m realizing I have been asking the wrong question or everybody has been asking the wrong question . The question is not “ What is my purpose?” But rather “ is it necessary to have a purpose?” Or “ Do I even need a purpose?”.

I think life as it is given to us does not demand purpose because no matter what you do time does not stop life goes on and you keep becoming the person you choose to become. 

Our society has associated finding a purpose with happiness , very often purpose is something that keeps you busy that keeps you engaged and that keeps you going. But it doesn’t have to be that way we are sent to this earth to exist, and the art of living is to be able to involve an existence without it burdening upon our self.

If we did not carry the weight of” finding a purpose” maybe we wouldn’t be so lost. Maybe we wouldn’t be so exhausted only maybe then we can sit down and look at the passing clouds and feel at ease with our existence.

Growing Pains

Do you know what the scariest thing in the world is? Growing up. I'm not ready, I don't want to. 

It's funny right? All of my life I've wanted to be independent, on my own, and jump right into the unknown. Well that was because I've always had safety nets... you know those little things called "parents" that picked you up when you got yourself into trouble or something as simple as wiping away the tears on a bad day. Whatever it was my parents have always been a little security blanket. 

You need a little background information about me:

I'm the youngest of three girls, I've always been out shined, talked over, and sometimes forgotten about. But there is one thing my mom could never overlook- I'm the restless soul. I have always been the one, that for whatever reason, wanted to get out of the best state on earth (Texas-like I needed to clarify).  I have always been the fearless one. I've climbed mountains, I go against the grain, and frankly I've never given much care to what anyone ever though of me. My mom would call me her "free spirit" and her "wild child". 

Fast forward. In 8 months, gulp, I will have to get a job. Be financially independent, and decide where I want to start my life. Doing one of those things at one time is a big deal. Trying to do all three at once makes me want to just pee my pants.

Whats awful is that I can't even really start the job search in until March. MARCH. giving me about 2 months to get my life together. Finding a job will kill two birds with one stone- getting a job, figuring out where to start my life and for a BONUS it is the start to becoming financially independent. All of this is under the assumption that I get a job. 

But right now I play the waiting game. I'm waiting to graduate. I'm waiting for answers. I'm waiting for the reality to set in. It's time to be an adult.
