what do u think the purpose of life is
I don't mean like humanity's purpose as a whole. just like the purpose of one persons individual life
I think the purpose of life is just to be happy
and even in like 4th grade ppl would like ask "what's the purpose of life" and have these intense conversations and I didn't understand what the question was
bc it was pretty obvious to me that you were just supposed to be happy
and everything that we do is just a step in reaching eventual happiness
but now I'm rethinking that and I don't think the goal is EVENTUAL happiness
but rather perpetual happiness
why should I suffer now? I mean
like love is a **** thing that hurts like hell
but ppl go through it bc they hope that it'll make them really happy for the rest of their life
but I've been realizing lately that while love is the answer to happiness, that love is not at all necessarily for another person
but rather love for your own life and the world in general
this sounds totally fake and cheesy but
like I realized the other day this is the first time in like 3 years that I've been without a girlfriend and I'm having to regain my independence and love for the little things in my life
like my friends and good food and literally just the thought of taking a walk before the sun comes up
and skype calls with ppl who I really enjoy with my window open and the lights off and forgetting that it's not summer
and not having to tell someone "I'll brb I have to go eat dinner I'm sorry I'm so sorry I'll be back soon"
and falling asleep whenever I want
and waking up without wanting to throw up
it makes you realize "what the **** was I doing"
and then another part of you answers the question.
"being in love, *******
"forgetting to love yourself"
"thinking, someone else will love me. I don't have to love myself"
I don't know what I thought a relationship was supposed to be before now but it was so wrong
that was toxic, and I am so much better off loving myself than loving her
