FROM MY HEART to mine but with YOU.

Dear Stranger,

How are you today? I hope you are well. So, I recently had a heart-to-heart with myself, as I usually do when I'm in solitude, and I want to connect with you a little. Guaranteed, I am no expert on anything involving life and its meaning, I'm only familiar with what I see, feel, and live through. Needless to say, that is what I will be serving momentarily if you can manage to get through this read. No technicalities, no common sense, just my thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Getting on with it, I'm sure you've had, and probably still do have, so many pending questions about life, its purpose, and meaning ~I know I do...and my God, I don't think I will ever run out of questions. Life is so bewildering don't you think?

I sometimes find myself in situations where I question existence and wonder if life has  purpose at all. Obsessed with wanting to experience life through another person's eyes, wondering what I might be missing. Isn't it unfair that we only get to experience existence once? I mean, I'll never get to be a singer because I don't have the vocals for it. I'll never get a standing ovation for hitting that sweet, harmonious note. I'll never know how it feels to be valedictorian, I'm not that book smart!😂 I'll never be like Leonardo da Vinci ~ you get the idea. But hey, "it's life," as they say.

Is there something you've always wanted to do or be, but felt limited by your abilities? Please share if you’re comfortable.

Anyway, growing up, I was always filled with questions. If something didn’t make sense to me, I wouldn’t rest until I found an explanation. This inquisitive nature led me to desire exploring every corner of life. I had an “I want to do it all” mentality, diving headfirst into sports, athletics, art, music, anything I could get my hands on. I wasn’t particularly good at half of these things, but hey, that was never the point. The thrill was in the experience itself.

Despite all these experiences, I still felt a void, a sense that I hadn’t yet discovered my true purpose. As time passed, I began to develop my interpersonal skills, particularly the listening part. This was a turning point for me. Listening to others share their stories became the closest I could get to experiencing life through someone else’s...'eyes'? It felt like pure ecstasy.

It felt incredible when someone trusted me with their story. I cherished every tale; what made them sad, what made them mad, what brought that spark into their eyes, and what truly lay in their hearts. Each story was a piece of life’s puzzle, helping me understand the human experience in a profound way.

So here I am today, giving back by sharing my thoughts and feelings with you. Maybe we can find some answers together, or at the very least, enjoy the journey of questioning everything.

With all that being said you may be wondering if in the end, I eventually found my purpose.

Well, what do I know? The end isn’t here yet. I don't know when the end will come, but it’s not now! And if there is an "end" to look forward to, a "happily ever after" or something like that waiting for me, I guess I don't have to worry about that right now. I’ve fallen in love with the journey so much that I might fall asleep when I get to the destination. Along the way, I've found peace of mind, acceptance, and love. I’ve discovered bits and pieces of my true self and admittedly lost some as well.

See, I’m not saying life is perfect. Far from it, but I'm fine with waking up each day not knowing what lies ahead. Some days, I wake up grumpy and blame it on "I haven't had my coffee yet." Other days, I wake up feeling like I can conquer the world. It keeps life interesting you know. I believe that true beauty is the offspring of a series of imperfections...yeah, I came up with that, might as well brag while I'm at it😂. Ask me later, I'll explain.

At any rate, I recently heard a saying that goes something like this, "When it is dark, you may think you're dead and have been buried, but in fact, you have been planted." I know, right? Some deep stuff. But that's what I'm talking about, just live, and I believe your purpose will reveal itself to you. Your own personal meaning of life will unfold in its own time.

So, here I am, still on this journey, discovering, questioning, and living. I’ve learned to embrace the unknown and find joy in the little things. And maybe, just maybe, that’s what it’s all about.

Your journey is uniquely yours. Embrace it, question it, and most importantly, live it. Your purpose will come to you when you least expect it. Until then, enjoy the ride my Friend.

There's a lot I can talk about here, but let's leave everything else for another day. I don't want to exhaust what little content I have😂.

In any case, I would love to hear you talk about your story, learn about your beliefs, your 'crazy' thoughts and witness you express your deepest feelings. What questions keep you up at night? Let’s explore these together and perhaps, in the process, find some semblance of purpose. Please leave a comment here or visit my Instagram.

For now, that's it from my heart to mine but with you. Yes, with YOU because you are part of my journey too.

Your Love
