4.3.25 // Purpose

I used to think of purpose as something to chase...
.
An achievement, a role, or a contribution to check off some invisible list. But the older I get, the more I spend time ideating on it, and the more I realize purpose isn’t something to do or get done. It’s not a finish line.
.
This is the real deal. The main event. The show.
.
This is my life.
.
It’s not a dress rehearsal or a pregame for something bigger. And there’s a sense of calm, peace, freedom in that. Instead of feeling like I’m on the wrong path or letting life pass me by, I see now that I can take life as it comes and do my best to adapt. Sure, maybe some things don't go my way (or how I expect them to unfold), but I know a lot of things will go my way.
.
Purpose isn’t about some far-off destination. It’s an internal journey, a becoming. It’s about stepping fully into who I am, choosing presence over perfection, and allowing each moment to shape me.
.
It’s not about waiting for the “right” path to reveal itself but recognizing that I’ve been walking it all along.
