Life isnt a neat list or a slick productivity graph. It is more like those messy playlists we build on a sleepy bus ride. Songs that dont match the mood somehow sit together and we hit repeat anyway. Some mornings I wake up ready to rebuild the whole planet, other days I forget why I walked into the kitchen. Both versions feel like me, which is confusing and kind of funny.
People keep saying life has a purpose. Pretty sure they mean well, but my purpose keeps switching tabs when I blink. One week I am chasing code and writing quotes, the next I am stuck staring at the same cloud for too long. Maybe life is less about hunting a big shining reason and more about not shutting down when the awkward silence shows up.
"Maybe life is just you, me, and everyone else trying to remember what we promised ourselves when we were still honest."
Moments that actually make sense
Whenever I sit with a friend who listens without fixing me, life suddenly behaves. When I walk through the city and smell food that probably isnt healthy, life is loud and great. None of this is groundbreaking wisdom. Still, these tiny things feel like breadcrumbs that say, hey, you're on the path even if the map is upside down.
And the mistakes stay
I mess up schedules, forget birthdays, and sometimes answer texts in my head but never hit send. Life keeps rolling though. Maybe the point is to keep showing up, even with the typos. I guess life is not solved, it is lived. So I am writing this as a note to future-me: keep collecting the small stuff, forgive the weird loopbacks, and please water the plants before they send a goodbye letter.
