From a very young age, I’ve always had a feeling that I had to do something, it took a while to discover the thing, but the feeling never wavered; it was only a matter of where I would utilize the energy. And through that journey for discovery, there are and were a lot of periods of deep confusion and uncertainty and those were the moments that I had to detach from that feeling and not allow it to be my primary motivator and understand that the purpose of life is to simply live and everything else is decoration.

We often like to judge ourselves based on our productivity and successes, and it’s tough not to when this is what the collective celebrates, but I think it’s okay to give ourselves the same type of love whether we are doing mindless activities or something worthwhile, to simply be should always be enough.
