At some point or another we all begin to question our existence, our place in the world and how we came to be here in the first place. The world can seem indifferent to us and life can feel random and meaningless. Suddenly it seems like a waste of effort to get upset over a messed up coffee order or obsess over the newest celebrity, that looks and acts just like the last celebrity.
The commercialization of our world, especially the western world, can sometimes make everything feel hollow. Interactions feel contrived and responses to small-talk feel automatic. It's an all-around isolating feeling. It can be even more isolating once the realization hits that we put ourselves in these circumstances and now we aren't sure how to get out of them.
It's a scary feeling to wake up one morning and realize that everything in our life is a compromise. Something we settled for because we were unsure what we really wanted or were too scared to pursue genuine happiness.
This mental state, while it can feel difficult, is actually an opportunity. You've reached a crossroads where you can turn your path around. You've been given the gift of hindsight and can recognize destructive patterns in your life. If the usual distractions no longer entertain you, it's because you are looking to make meaningful change.
Take this time to make decisions that will impact your future. Use this frustrated energy and turn it towards creating meaningful change. You have all of the power to make yourself happy.
Stay positive, my friends.
