My purpose
December 29, 2018
I never understood my purpose
I thought I was meant to be sad
Meant to be constantly tired
Meant to be just another face
It wasn’t until I suddenly found myself sick
I’m alright now but you see we never know
We don’t know the future
Things happen suddenly
In a blink of an eye your no longer a kid
Suddenly your in this big scary world
Suddenly your in college
The future is now
The future Dosent wait
we do not need to wait either
We can find our purpose
I found mine in writing
In telling my story
In being me
I will continue to share my story
I will continue to help others
My purpose on this earth starts today and so should yours

I was constantly sad as a kid, I struggled with finding who I was. I ended up really sick this year and ended up in the hospital for a few days and I recovered quickly after that but I became sick so quickly and that was when I realized the future is now and we never know what’s going to happen so start pursuing your dreams today.
