To you who feel 'I don't know what I'm living for'

To you who feel 'I don't know what I'm living for'

Don't you ever think about that in a fleeting moment?

'What am I living for?'

Repeating the same things every day.

Work, school, relationships, social media.

Even though everyone around me seems to be moving forward, I feel like I'm the only one standing still.

But first, there is something I want to tell you.

The fact that you are thinking about it means you are truly living.

The meaning of life is 'not decided from the beginning'

Many people search for the 'meaning of life'.

But in reality, the meaning of life is not something prepared from the start.

It is something you create later on.

Small things are fine.

・Made someone laugh

・Ate a meal I liked

・Managed to live through today

・Was told 'thank you' by someone

The accumulation of such small moments,

when you realize it, becomes a 'moment when I'm glad I'm alive'.

You have value even if you don't achieve anything

The world tells us this.

Succeed.

Have a dream.

Produce results.

But there are days when you just can't do those things.

And that is okay.

Today, you

woke up,

ate a meal,

and have made it this far.

That alone is already amazing enough.

Life is not a competition.

Life is still in progress.

If you are struggling right now,

that is not the end of your life story.

It is just a part of the journey.

Even in a movie, if you only watch the middle scenes,

they are full of painful moments.

But when you watch until the end,

you might realize that it was all leading up to this.

Your life is still in progress, too.

One last thing I want to tell you

If right now,

you don't know what you are living for,

you feel like you have no value,

you cannot see a future,

if you are thinking that, please remember this.

The very fact that you are here today has meaning.

You don't need a grand reason.

Today, just

'try living a little longer'

that is enough.

Life can, in unexpected places,

suddenly become interesting.

To see that moment,

you are living today as well.
