The purpose of life is to have a purpose.
Without it, you will drift through the years like a tumbleweed in the desert. And don’t worry about the afterlife. Life is about the journey, not the destination.

Words of wisdom, Patrick.
The months I’ve dealt with depression this year really had a lot to do with that. Feeling like I have no real purpose on Earth. I still don’t really know what my purpose is. Your shared some wisdom though.

I sometimes think about returning to religion but then me thinks that would be real dumb. 
I suppose I may be viewed as fulfilling a life’s purpose by some.
I have a family, house, job. But I always feel like I didn’t rise to my true potential. I should have worked harder on my talents. This is a regret for sure.
Are you very talented mr Patrick?
I believe I have a knack for songwriting and creative writing in general. I think if I had a life do-over I would take Advertising at College…lots of creativity in that field and you can touch people through pop culture.

Good for you!
If i had a do over I’d be someone without mental illness obviously but be able to help people with problems in life like a counsellor and volunteer food bank or something like that

I don’t know if I should try and live a normal life or just give up and spend my time volunteering and pursuing spirituality. I agree though, purpose makes things meaningful.

I’m much more spiritual than religious.
I believe we are all perpetually alive…conscious and questioning our surroundings in one form or another.

I still wonder what is the purpose of my life. I mean I’m cruious to see what other’s may feel is there purpose. Maybe it will help me find mine. I used to think the purpose of life was to procreate, I felt it wasn’t so for me. Because of the illness at one point I felt I was a bane in humankind and that I should just die off along with the illness. I still feel that way to a certain degree, except now I sometimes feel I should just try to leave the world better than it was before I got here. I don’t really know how to do that so I just try to be a nice person.

I don’t think I have life purpose. But I create it. So in a way your right Patrick. But I mean staying alive is something for me. Even tho I don’t fear death. Also be creative. Fall in love haha maybe. Communicate. Find the occult. Not trying to be triggering but I do believe it’s just in my nature. Get in touch with nature. But if I was never born none of this would’ve mattered. So in a way there’s no purpose. But you create it yourself through your environment and experiences and stuff
