Rambelings of a Shadow

what does life mean, to live without purpose? To have no meaning in this world, other than being a waste of space. living as the shadow of your formal self, dissociated from what you once knew about yourself. Does life even have purpose at all? Some of us have the desire to help others, But how does one help others, when you can't even help yourself? Looking into the past seeing what you once were. But when you look into the the mirror you don't see that person, you don't even know what you see, you can't seem to comprehend where things changed you can't pin point the time where it all went wrong. Sure you can put pieces to together. But it's only a illusion you set for yourself. So what does all it all mean? lately I've been asking myself "Do I serve a purpose or do I purposely serve?" a question that has and will plague everyone's mind at some point in time. is it a question that has a definite answer doubtful but who am I not to try to answer for myself.

    There is always a purpose for life. There are purposes that are tragic, that no one should ever have the fate of, but an underlying message causes that purpose to need to exist. But on the flip side, there are purposes of high social importance, such as those that pioneer the way towards the future. There are those that find it easier to help others, but cannot help themselves to save their life (very much like how I used to be.) Sometimes it is about trying to figure out why you are 'bent' (as I won't say broken) and figuring out what must be done to help straighten out the bent edges. Everyone serves a purpose, in which they purposely serve if they know what they 'feel' that purpose is. Pin pointing where it all went wrong is always the hardest part, as eventually time melds together leaving you stuck trying to remember what happened, what events happened in what order to cause such things. You can see what you once were, but then from there it is time to go out into the new jungle and start cutting a path towards that shiny tower in the distance. You may stumble, you may fall into some thorns, you may get lost but if you keep pushing, eventually you will find what you're looking for. The journey will not be easy, but it can be made a little easier with a couple close friends that have your back.

    Changes in ourselves is one of the hardest challenges I believe mankind ever has to face. It took me years to figure out that I had changed, but that I was clinging onto bits of my old self because they were familiar and safe. Over time I realized that there are things - changes - that sometimes I cannot control. Question is, do I like this change? Yes? I'll keep working on it. No? Well, it's time to take the long journey of correcting it and controlling what I wish to be, instead of it trying to control me.

    Do you have a purpose? It'll be a journey to find that answer, but I'm sure that you would find the answer you are looking for if you take that journey. You may faulter, you may stumble but just keep your head up and carry on. Friends are a helpful addition to any trip, people that can be there for you, people that can help keep you on track, even when you're teetering on the edge of falling from the path.

    And as always, your friendly neighborhood HarleyCyn is here to help in any small (or large, but trust usually has to be built first) way I possibly can.


    Now, on an off topic note: Your Profile Picture - your OC, I assume, looks really cool.

    I don't believe that there is any purpose inherit in life, since meaning is subjective, but for that same reason each of us is allowed to give our lives a purpose which we choose.
