if nobody has told you this i’m telling you now: it’s okay not to have a specific goal in life or one big dream you live and breathe for. i know there’s something awfully romantic about the idea of waking up every day working towards something specific and feeling like that’s your purpose in life, but that’s not all life is about, you know? if you have that, that’s great! and if you don’t, that’s great too! wake up every day wanting to try something new, to explore your mind and this world with it. there’s nothing wrong with changing hobbies every week, one person’s goal can be to play the piano like mozart, but you’re also allowed to just follow your curiosity and try 50 different instruments just to know how they make your heart feel. you can try ballet one day and explore heavy metal playlists the next. don’t let anyone tell you that you need a purpose to be happy and to feel like you really deserve to be here, because you don’t. your purpose is YOU and the magical mystery of how stardust came alive in the shape of your body, mind and soul. and that’s enough, i promise. YOU are enough, i promise.
