I've been questioning myself a lot recently. Wondering my use to the world around me. Everyday i feel so useless. I wonder why I was put on this earth. For others? I want to find my purpose. Maybe this would give me the motivation to stay here. But how do I help myself answer this question? needdd helppp

What kinds of things do you feel passionate about? The world's got a lot of problems and plenty of ways to get involved lol. Maybe look up some organizations in your area to volunteer for? Could be like volunteering for a food bank, helping get signatures for a petition, helping a candidate for local election, picking up trash at the beach, etc.

@ambitiouslimeraray221 We are not gears in a machine. We don’t have to have a “purpose.” Well, maybe some people want a story of purpose or reason for being. You are HERE and to me that means you belong here. I know I feel good when I do something for another being. It can be small, a smile, helping someone decorate a Christmas tree, giving a homeless person enough money to buy an actual decent meal. Sometimes doing those things really helps me feel better. Sometimes it’s just a small boost. 


I think in the past when I felt useless I was comparing my worth to what I thought the world thought was a “useful” person. I felt a big sense of relief when I decided my presence here was enough “use”. I pay taxes and buy services. That serves someone in my community in some way. So even though you might not feel it, you are connected to your community in important ways. I hope my long blabber helped in some way.

@ambitiouslimeraray221 this is a unanswerable question. But I believe we all do have a reason, even if that reason seems to change alot, but then perhaps we have more than one reason. I'm not sure we know till right at the end. Maybe we all play a part in a giant tapestry, where love and compassion and kind deeds all play a part. Instead of worrying however I believe we need to live for now, live and be happy this moment and every moment. Then your life will fall naturally into place ❤ wishes you love and good luck. And sends hugs your way ❤
