Purpose:

the reason for which something exists, is done, made, or used.

Asking, "what is the purpose?" is like opening a can of worms. Everyone wants an answer, but not just any answer. They want the right one. The clear one. The easy one. The one that makes the most sense. But really, any answer will do just as long as they get one. 'Purpose' has been on my mind a lot lately. The purpose of this blog, the purpose of school, the purpose of community, the purpose of happiness, sadness, pain, healing. The purpose of life. The purpose of me. Needless to say, thinking about all of this can be pretty overwhelming. I guess that's a good word to describe my life right now: overwhelming. My hope is that, if I just find the purpose, maybe I won't feel like I'm drowning in this crazy thing called life. So, first on the list of things that need a defined purpose: this blog.
When I started writing here, I think it was simply a place to get my thoughts out. Over time, I began adding themes such as Tune Tuesday and Film Friday, but honestly, there's nothing fluid about my writings. I know I don't have many followers (three to be exact) but I fear that people I know will stumble upon my page and judge me for things I've penned. I know, I know. If that's the case, why do I even have a blog? Well, I want to overcome that fear and I suppose this is one way to do that. I've said it before: I love writing and I'm much better at it than speaking.... So. If people I know do happen upon my little oasis, so be it. Odds are, I won't know even if they do. Now that that is out of the way, on to the purpose. In short, it'll continue to be a smattering of whatever I feel led to write about. Similar to what it is currently, but now that I don't care who reads it, well, who knows! Tomorrow I might write a story. The day after I might share my thoughts on marriage. The sky is the limit, folks.
Alrighty, that was easy. Umm, school. Oh boy. This seems like a topic much too heavy to even begin to cover in this post and at 11:37 at night..... Hmm, same with community, emotions, life, and myself. Remember what I said about opening a can of worms? Don't worry, I'll get to at least a couple of these later. (This is what you call a cliff-hanger.)

God bless, everyone.
