People don’t work to get paid, they work to stay alive. Having no purpose is never a wise path to pursue.

“Who will you be when you grow up” is not a question you should know the answer to. But “will you thrive and follow your purpose” is.

Life is not a straight path. I’ve heard the supposedly “reoccurring cycle of life” that many used to explain how life is dull hundreds of times by the least, and I’ve never been more disgusted by people in my whole life. The reoccurring cycle of life is basically after you get born, you go to school, go to university, get a job, build a family, retire, and die. That pretty much sums it up. But how can people say that?

You’re saying that life isn’t exciting? That we have only one duty to fulfill and that’s it? History has more than enough evidence to prove otherwise. In less than 50 years, we’ve manufactured hundreds of billions of small magic screens that let us connect with people all around the sphere, and it’s normalized to where not having one is perceived as weird.

People in marginalized social groups fought for their rights while being the underdogs of society, all to prove that they weren’t underdogs…
