Looking for Purpose in a Purposeless World (especially when all things shall pass away)
<p>I’ve tried.</p><p>God knows I’ve tried.</p><p>To grow,</p><p>to heal,</p><p>to be light in someone else’s darkness —</p><p>but sometimes it feels like the more I try to shine,</p><p>the more the emptiness grows.</p><p>They say, “Find your purpose.”</p><p>But what if purpose keeps slipping through your fingers</p><p>like water —</p><p>what if everything you build</p><p>still ends up fading?</p><p>Some nights it feels like life is just a loop:</p><p>you rise,</p><p>you fall,</p><p>you fix yourself,</p><p>then break again quietly,</p><p>pretending it’s progress.</p><p>And maybe it is.</p><p>Maybe it’s not.</p><p>Maybe this world was never meant to make sense —</p><p>a place where everything ends,</p><p>where everyone leaves,</p><p>where every good thing fades eventually.</p><p>And yet we keep reaching anyway,</p><p>like hope itself refuses to die.</p><p>Maybe that’s the real ache of being human —</p><p>to know everything will pass away,</p><p>but still want to mean something before it does.</p><p>I’ve learned that purpose isn’t always a miracle moment.</p><p>Sometimes it’s just the decision to wake up again,</p><p>even when you don’t feel like it.</p><p>Sometimes it’s showing love to people</p><p>who can’t love you back.</p><p>Sometimes it’s giving light</p><p>and being left in the dark anyway.</p><p>And that’s the hardest part —</p><p>when you pour out so much</p><p>that there’s nothing left in you to refill.</p><p>But even then…</p><p>there’s a strange kind of peace</p><p>in knowing you tried.</p><p>You cared.</p><p>You gave something real</p><p>in a world that forgets real things so easily.</p><p>Maybe that’s purpose enough —</p><p>not to be seen,</p><p>not to be remembered,</p><p>but to have felt deeply</p><p>in a world that’s gone numb.</p><p>Because even when it doesn’t go the way you hoped,</p><p>even when the emptiness grows instead of shrinking —</p><p>you were still a spark,</p><p>even if the night didn’t notice.</p><p><br/></p><p>Thanks again for your patience, time and attention.</p><p>Credits: Confidential 🙂</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
