Wanting more out of life.

Published: 2023-07-09


In this digital garden, I struggle to find the courage to share my personal thoughts and reflections, despite that, here we are. As I navigate through life, I often wonder how many others share similar feelings of self-discovery and the pursuit of authenticity. I am basically trying to explain to the ether, my desire to make the most of life while staying true to myself, acknowledging the challenges and the importance of finding balance.

The Desire for Personal Growth:

I harbor a multitude of aspirations, ranging from simple daily tasks to lifelong goals. However, I sometimes struggle to achieve them, leading to moments of self-loathing and frustration. This internal conflict can perpetuate a cycle like that of an Ouroboros serpent. While other times, I show compassion towards myself, realizing that progress is not always linear, if only the latter was more frequent.

Embracing the World Beyond:

While it may be tempting to become a recluse, spending endless hours indoors immersed in work or digital pursuits, I recognize the immense value of venturing out and engaging with the world. Each individual possesses unique perspectives and experiences, and by socializing, I can learn and grow. The fear of missing out on these opportunities fuels my desire to step outside my comfort zone.

Striving for Meaningful Connections:

In my pursuit of personal growth, I aim to create more and consume less. I acknowledge the dangers of social media, which often fosters shallow interactions and a lack of genuine connection. However, I also understand that completely cutting it out is not the solution, only the sith deal in absolutes! Instead, I seek to strike a balance, leveraging the benefits of social media while being mindful of its drawbacks.

Living Life on My Own Terms:

Ultimately, I aspire to look back on my life with a sense of fulfillment, knowing that I pursued my personal desires, even those born from impulsive or fleeting thoughts. I value the ability to live life on my own terms, making intentional choices and maintaining a sense of control over my own narrative.

As I embark on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth, I recognize the importance of finding equilibrium in a digital age. By prioritizing my desires, embracing the world outside, and navigating the complexities that is "living", I strive to create a life that aligns with my true self. May we all find the courage to pursue our aspirations and live life to the fullest, leaving no room for regret.
