Sometimes I just wonder, what's the main purpose that keeps us staying alive on Earth? I'm not suicidal or anything like that, but I'm just really curious. When we're young, we just constantly want to grow up, thinking that being a young adult would be cool and we can do everything we want, enjoy life, hang out with friends everyday. But as we start to grow older, we realized that this is not true at all. As a student, we're always chased by assignment deadlines, project submission, presentation etc. Even during holiday, when we meet up with our friends, it's to discuss about our project work. I feel like I literally have no life. Of course we do have days whereby we are free, but by that time, we'll be so tired that we just want to stay at home and rest the whole day, probably not wanting to interact with anybody. Maybe it just applies for me, but I feel this way every single day. So when you finally finish your studies, the next phase of your life is to work, which is probably the worst part about being an adult because you practically work 30-40 years until you retire. If you're getting the job that you're passionate for, then good for you. If not, you'll probably hope that you can go heaven soon lol. Everyday is just, work, home, sleep and it goes on and on. Also the main reason we work is for money, to pay bills and support the family. Hence basically, we work to survive until the day we retire and enjoy a few more years until we enter the coffin. I know everybody would have a goal in life that they want to achieve when they're still alive and kicking, but how many of us actually manage to reach it? My goal in life is actually to go to third world countries and do volunteering work, giving joy to people who are less fortunate. If not, I would want to go backpack traveling. Yeah, not that interesting but I do hope it comes true. And I would like you guys to think about your purpose in life and do you think you're able to achieve it?
