Hello lovelies. I hope you all had a lovely Halloween! I had a good time celebrating with my own little crew. Went and did some karaoke and got to do that hobby for a bit. You can check out my costume and fun on my Instagram and TikTok. Now, on with the post.
Today I’m going to talk to you guys a little bit about purpose. It’s been a topic that has been coming up a lot in my life recently. This past week has been a bit of an eye opener for me. I made the decision just today to drop my photography degree path and just focus on writing. So, my school life is going to change just a bit. I still want to do photography on the side, but I want to focus on it less in school. I feel like it’s my “purpose” to write and be more involved in that. Life has been showing me that.
Also, in what I’m writing I’m finding my main character is struggling with her purpose in the point I’m at with my book. It’s a hard thing to think about. I feel like every human has struggled with finding their purpose at some point in their lives and maybe that’s where some of you are at right now. One thing that I can say about purpose is that we all create our own purpose. It’s a calling, a passion, something we feel like we were meant to do that will give our lives more meaning. It doesn’t have to be anything profound either. I know people that have found purpose in playing video games, and that’s totally fine. Whatever it is that gives your heart an immeasurable amount of joy is your purpose.
I feel like I may have found more of mine this past week. Writing makes me happier than I have ever been. I love to write poetry, and of course books, songs, all sorts of things. I’ve loved it since I could do it at four years old. I don’t want to stop and I think that’s my purpose; to share these things with all of you and maybe in doing so relate to you. My characters go through these real life problems like finding purpose. As I said, I’m in a spot in my book now where my main character is struggling with just that. The way that she handles it is very real as well. I don’t want to give too much away, but I feel like everyone handles that struggle differently and that’s how we grow into our own realizations of what our true purpose is. I’m watching my husband and other people in my life come to the realizations of what their purposes are as well. It’s a beautiful thing to watch and be a part of.
I also think that purpose is who you are. It’s the thing that makes each and every one of us uniquely ourselves. It’s different for everyone and the meaning behind your purpose does too. We all have different experiences and ways of life, no two paths are the same. It’s such a diverse yet ultimately unanimous experience at the same time. And the cool thing about it is that it’s never too late to discover your purpose.
I’ll stop rambling at you now. I just felt like this was something I needed to share. So, If you stuck around, thanks for taking the time to read what I have to say.
I would love to hear what you guys have found to be your purpose or even if you have yet to find it where you’re at on your journey to it. Maybe help some of you through that struggle, just be an ear and a friend. So, please drop me a comment and let’s talk about it!
Until next time – Stay weird
Later Shayders
