Don’t save yourself.
That’d be the only advice I’d give to my younger self, and any person waiting to figure it out.
We’re all born to certain obsessions and for the longest time, I genuinely believed mine were true. I believed I was meant for such a specific destiny that I’d not get involved with others, group activities, or any kind of hobby that didn’t light up my spirit.
That lasted as long as it could, until I couldn’t continue that way.
Robbed of life, I gave it up and started from the ground level– took a seemingly ordinary job as a writer for a marketing company.
What followed?
More life in 2 years than my entire leading into it.
You don’t fulfill your calling, purpose, or passion by searching for it. There is no search, searching is just a dressed up word to justify wasting time— like the loading screen before your video game starts.
It’s so corny, but you need to just move.
Take random jobs, leave them.
Go to parties, try shit, say yes– then figure it out.
Your life naturally works itself out through motion, not through contemplation of motion.
What’s it all mean?
There isn’t anything for you to do or think about or decide.
Your only task is to keep moving.
