A few nights ago, I came to the realization that I'm absolutely, entirely, and utterly lost - my life is no longer in my own control. In part, this is due to the fact that I have a need to perfect everything, creating an extreme sense of unnecessary anxiety; yet, more importantly, I have run into somewhat of a more profound issue. As I lay in bed, I began to ask myself one, simple question: what is the true, raw meaning of my life? I find myself doing the same thing each and every day, with a complete lack of purpose. I have the classic over-achiever routine - wake up, remind my mother I love her, make the perfect grades, and look pretty for my group of friends. Each action is calculated, my next breath, step, word carefully planned, and for what? Is it to go to college, perhaps raise a picturesque family? I like to think that there is something more out there, something better, something beyond myself; yet somehow, I don't even know where to being to search.
Interestingly enough, a few days later, while skimming through old texts, I came across exactly what could have ever needed. To be quite honest, I can't remember the origin of this message, nor do I truly understand why I stumbled on it this particular day. Nonetheless, these words have set me on a path to peace. As I sit here today, typing with both a sense of curiosity and wonder, I am spreading these beautiful words in hope of helping someone who found themselves stressing over the same thing as myself. In the end, these emotions are intense; these emotions are normal; these emotions are human.
The messages:
“What is the point of it all?
I think I might know the answer.
The point of life is your friends and family.
That's it.
There is nothing more, nothing less,
But those you call close.
Love is a chemical reaction.
It continues species,
Creates connections,
And stabilizes our world.
C8H11NO2 + C1OH12N2O + C43H66N1201252
This is love.
This is infinite.
This is life.”
“It’s not about the destination,
It’s about the journey
Life consists of two points
Point A, birth
Point B, death
Life is about what you do between those two points
How much love you share
How much pain you inflict
How much you leave behind
Until you understand this
Until you stop looking for the answer
You are never truly living
Life isn’t about A and B
Life is about the infinity between A and B"
