The hunt for meaning, both of this life and the next, is inherently meaningless. Like everyone else, I've thought about things like: Who am I? Why am I here? What do I want?

But in all honesty? I don't think it matters. 

We always hunger for the next big thing, the next promotion, going to college, or making it in Hollywood. Because of this, we can never take a step back and just breathe. What matters is living a life that makes you happy, but seeking happiness can be hard. I know I've lost sight of that goal many times in my short life; I've stressed over school and spiraled to the point that it impacted my mental and physical health- losing sight of that end point. 

Living anywhere but now is always a mistake. As the saying goes, "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery. " Sometimes, it's important to let go of the reins and go where life takes you. Experience life! Stop to smell the roses, but don't worry about the flowers that have already bloomed- what's done is done. It was never about tomorrow; it has always been about today.

I'll go to a college, I'll live a life, and I'll eventually die, and so will you. I'm okay with that, I think
