Your Journey is Your Purpose
"Life works in mysterious ways." Ever heard that before? How about "God works in mysterious ways?" I have. In fact, I still hear it and even see it on inspirational memes on social media. When I was younger, I didn't know or even care what that meant because I was too busy living in the moment and not paying attention to what the universe was putting in my lap.

Good to Great
I've always been a dreamer. I've always had things I've wanted to do, places I've wanted to go, dreams of useless talents that could take me places; whether stupid, small, or secretly large. I've always had this urge... a—desire, I suppose you could say—to be known. Heard. Maybe it's my huge ego, but I want that for the best of reasons, I swear. And I hate that I want it because I should be humble and shit but I'm not. I want to be known for something. I want to die knowing that I was really good—no, scratch that—G R E A T at something. All my life, I've never had something that I'm really great at. I've been late to everything.

Growing Pains
I think we’ve all been a little terrified of growing up too fast. There is a mindless beauty to ignorance. Not knowing everything, asking questions, endless curiosity, all of what drives us towards the unknown with no fear of getting hurt. I miss that. Not thinking twice or second-guessing, just...going. But to our dismay, regardless of if we want it or not, we all grow old, we all learn the hard way.

The Cure for Loneliness
What is loneliness exactly? We all seem to experience this feeling, but how many of us really understand it? I've felt lonely enough throughout my own life that it's given me plenty of time to examine it, to experiment with it, and to eventually overcome it.

3 No Cost Ways to Reward Yourself
I have a recurring daydream. I get up at the first tone of an alarm clock, leap out of bed, and into a quick shower. I do my hair and makeup, have a little coffee and toast, then dash off to work. Something perfectly repetitive, like an assembly line, so I can work and think of stories at the same time. Then, when my job is over, I go back to my little home, sit on a chair I picked out myself (and paid for with my own money). Then I do whatever I want with my evening. To me, this would be a luxury. No one could question me, because when you make your own money, you're free.

A Reason to Continue
For years I've searched for the thing that I'd be great at. I'm sure millions have done the same and come to similar results. It's been ingrained in me through media, society, teachers, and parents that we all have a purpose. I suppose... But what is that purpose? I've never had any aspirations to become a professional anything. So I'm not exactly shocked at where I am in life.

It Was All a Dream...
"As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." A famous quote from a famous film, but without a doubt a mantra that many have lived by their whole life. Why a gangster? because they demand respect, they live by their rules, and they certainly aren't sitting at a desk for 40 hours a week waiting to see if their annual leave request gets approved.
