To be constantly, utterly, sentimentalized by walking bodies. I wonder what is really the purpose or meaning of my life. I wonder what defines my identity? Is it my thoughts? My body? My actions? Or something else entirely?

I’ve never been one to take risks or embrace life fully, because living means facing countless uncertainties and unknowns. Deep down, I understand that the world is harsh on those who dare to dream. But having holistic view taught me what I was missing all along. It took my fear of being attached to something other than the darkness which I grown to know ever since.

I believe my life is worth understanding because everyone is involved in it now. Life's many twists and turns give us a canvas to paint our purpose. I find a profound sense of meaning in the love of my family, the laughter shared with friends, and the bonds formed with strangers.

These connections emphasize the interconnectedness of life and the value of understanding, empathy, and compassion in creating meaningful lives. My quest for purpose has been a journey of self-discovery, a voyage inward to fathom the depths of my passion and aspiration.

I have realized that I have unearthed a profound desire to make a difference, to contribute meaningfully to the lives of others. I have found purpose in the pursuit of growth and the betterment of both myself and the world around me.

I see purpose not as a singular thread but as a vibrant mosaic of experiences, relationships, and personal growth.

The meaning of life, I have come to understand, is not a fixed point but a dynamic, ever-evolving narrative crafted through self-discovery, human connections, and the mindful embrace of the present.

As I continue my journey, I carry with me the knowledge that life’s purpose is not a destination to reach but a continuous, unfolding story waiting to be written with each passing moment.

The way you change, grow, and become the better version of yourself are the one who define who you are now.

In the quest to understand what defines my identity, it becomes evident that identity is woven from the threads of thoughts, body, actions, and experiences.

Embracing these identity invites me to appreciate the uniqueness of every individual, recognize that each person is a mosaic of experiences, thoughts, and aspirations, shaped by the what you’ve gone far.
