Adore the way you write! I had one question however, how do you find out what you want? I’m currently struggling, stuck on autopilot, and I don’t know how to ask myself why I’m doing the things I am or what I want to achieve out of this.

Thank you for the lovely comment.

See, I think asking yourself 'why' too much is the problem. Not everything needs an answer or reason, not everything needs to be justified. Do things for the sake of doing them, for the enjoyment and fulfillment you feel while doing them, the reason and achievement will come on its own time.

If you love what you do, do it. We're capable of doing a thousand things all at once, so just drift between a hobby and another and somehow it'll stick. Stop asking yourself for meaning in everything. Sometimes meaningless pleasures are enough as they are.

Thank you for your lovely reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. I’ve always been told that I need to know why I wanted to do something rather than doing it for the sake of the experience or the enjoyment. I never knew how much I needed to hear that until I did, so thank you again for your eloquently put truths and I hope you have a lovely rest of the week!
