Meaning/purpose in life?
I see many people saying they are figuring out they purpose in life or the meaning of it. I'm curious to know other's perspectives.

I don't think there is one, at least, not one external to the self. Sure, there are the mechanical purposes of life, ie. physical biological needs, but a greater metaphysical purpose that exists externally to the individual seems to be a red herring in a sense. The size of a human body and duration of a human lifetime is so insignificant in the scope of the totality of existence that it doesn't even amount to a rounding error. Even the most significant of humans known to have lived don't exist in any meaningful level of fidelity for more than a generation past their expiration. The nature of human knowledge is incredibly fragile as well, and if something cataclysmic were to happen tomorrow, what would remain of all our collective knowledge? I think that if there is to be any meaning at all to life to be had, that it would have to be entirely derived from and confined to the individual. That is to say, life has no meaning inherent to it beyond that which we ascribe to it, and even that is only applicable to our self.

Don't think I'll ever know for sure, but for now my purpose is to be an empathetic human and find my soulmate ♥️

Is there any way to know our true personality ? How can we explore the essence of our true selves and express it authentically ?

Free will is an illusion. Your choices are predetermined by the things around you. You cannot choose what is funny to you, you simply laugh.

Are you an anti- moral realist?

A memory to bury, a heart to set free Why hold on to what's lost, a love that used to be Forever's just a dream, that's faded with the past Now I'm left to move on, and let love forever last

Spoon Necklace
What was it that led me to choose such an unusual accessory? I can’t pinpoint an exact answer, but the symbolism behind it starts to form, piece by piece, as I think through it. I wanted to symbolize an incomplete union. A spoonful of sweetness, after all, must be contrasted by the blunt motion... read more

A portrait in my mind, a memory so bright Your image etched within a constant loving light How can i erase the heart, where you reside? When your memory is his solace, my constant guide.

The speed of attaining success in life is inversely proportional to the weight of karmas that you carry on your shoulders. The more you release the load, the faster you can run! A random thought .... (edited)

Moving on
Every time you manage to move on from something, you leave a part of yourself behind. It's like chipping off a small part of you with every hit you take, until you can't take any more hits and then there's the last blow which shatters you into pieces.

With hearts that give and give, they often forget their own Their kindness leaves them lonely with a love that's overgrown Their selfless souls shine brightly, in the dark of night A gentle heart, that beats for others, but forgets its own light
