Lately, I've come to realize that my life is drifting away. Where? I have no idea. No destination in sight. As a result, I feel like I'm making no progress. Even worse, it appears that I have wasted these last few years. Yeah, sure, I studied, worked, saw friends, partied, travelled a little bit. But I still don't know what is important to me, what can bring meaning to my life. I wanna get a tattoo of a fox and people always ask me: 'What does it mean to you?' And I have no freaking idea, it probably doesn't mean **** to me, I just find it beautiful and want it to be inked on my skin. It shows how much people seek sense in everything. Also, I have to write an essay for grad school and it's supposed to represent who I am as a person. Like, if a friend picked my essay up on the street and there was no name on it, he'd still realize it's mine. But I can't do that, I don't know what to write and I believe it comes down to me not having found (yet) my life purpose.

I think it's essential for people to find their purpose of life. There are many online ressources about it on the Internet. For instance, you have to pick your ten most important values, find your five biggest strengths and use that to formulate what is really important for you to accomplish. It's not that easy, I've interrogated myself quite a lot over the past two weeks and the path is clearer, even if not obvious. It's hard to try to find your life purpose because it questions everything you've done in life so far. It's scary because it might lead you to change and changes are always a bit scary. But I think it's worth it, at least you will know what drives you even when life hits you hard.

So, have you found already found your life purpose? What is it? If not, are you looking for it? Any hints yet?

My life has no purpose at the moment, it's just there.

My life purpose is to be a happy person.

I don't think there is ONE thing you can find that will make you satisfied. But several things (like health, good relationship, money, whatever)

I don't necessarily believe my life needs a purpose. I just.... live and I do it the best I can with what I have. I used to hold myself to such high expectations and I realize just because I might not leave my mark on this world doesn't mean I lived an unfulfilled life. I believe just going out there and living your life, living in the now, experiencing and learning new things could lead you to a path where you will find something that brings you "purpose".

Also just get the tattoo if you want it. It doesn't have to have "meaning". The meaning for you is YOU LIKE IT. Big deal.

I'm looking to achieve independence and secure a safe, healthy life that I've always dreamed of. As simple as it looks to you, I know it will take someone in my position a decade more to achieve.

To achieve my goals and dreams, live life to the fullest, and be happy
