Soul Figuring Out

 

Life is actually funny — and bumpy.
I feel like I’m doing absolutely everything I can, and yet… I’m still so lost.
Everything feels confusing — like it’s all tangled up in ways I can’t even explain.
I don’t know if the path I’m on is the right one…
Or if it’s just one I somehow ended up on.

One of my professors once told me:
“Always expect the unexpected.”
And maybe that’s what life really is —
A messy mix of effort, destiny, and a little bit of luck.

No matter how hard we try to plan it, life doesn’t always follow our script.

The “unexpected” isn’t always fun.
It includes the lows —
The rejections, the heartbreaks, the identity crises, the friendships that fade.
Not every day is magical.
Not every decision makes sense right away.

People constantly ask, “So, what’s your 5-year plan?”
And honestly?
I want to say, “I don’t know.”
Because I really don’t.

What I planned… somehow fell apart.
And now? I have no backups.
Just blank pages and a heart still learning how to hope again.

So, if you’re on the same page as me —
Here’s what I’ll say: don’t lose hope.

Maybe we’re meant to explore life, not have it all figured out from the start.
Being lost doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
Maybe it’s just a chance to see what you haven’t yet seen —
To discover parts of the world, and of yourself, that you never knew before.

You’re questioning. You’re searching. You’re learning.
That’s growth.
(And hey, now you have a “hustling story” too — how cool is that?)

Think of it like a maze.
You keep hitting blocks and turning corners,
Until one day… you finally find the exit.
And just beyond that maze?
There’s a garden.
A peaceful, beautiful place —
Kind of like those Mickey Mouse cartoons —
with flowers, fountains, and soft music playing in the background.

And in that moment, you’ll realize:
The confusion?
The mess?
It was all worth it.

Because now, you’ve become a version of yourself
that’s built with learning, growing… and faith.

Have faith in yourself, even if no one else does.
You are the one who should believe in you.
Trust your destiny. Trust your work.
Even if it feels hard today — it’s going to work out.

Keep moving.
Get up.
Work on yourself.
Try things you’ve never done — but always wanted to.

Maybe your answers are right there,
just waiting for the braver version of you to arrive.

You’re not behind anyone.
You’re just becoming the better version of yourself —
the wiser, more grounded, more you version.

Becoming takes time.
If it could happen overnight,
everyone would be on the same page.

But you're not "late."
You're just growing — and growth is never wasted.

So, if you’re lost right now — it’s okay.
You’re not alone. You’re just becoming.
And trust me, the world needs the version of you that’s still in the making.

With all my heart,
— A Soul Still Figuring It Out

Kindness isn't Loud-But It Echoes Forever

  Before I become successful, loved, or admired — the first thing I want to be is a “good person.” And by a good person, I don’t mean someone beautiful or powerful. I mean someone real . Someone who carries kindness and humanity for everyone they meet. Honestly, if someone ever said to me, “People like you make the world a better place,” — that would be the ultimate compliment. An instant mood-lifter, right? Because here’s the truth: Humanity doesn’t require money. Kindness isn’t expensive. And yet… it’s become so rare. The world feels like a business transaction now — everything is give and take. People talk about karma all the time, but I still wonder: If karma really exists, why is genuine humanity so hard to find? It’s so rare… That I could probably find my lost hairclip faster than I could find pure-hearted kindness around me. (And every girl reading this knows how impossible it is to find a lost hairclip!) I’ve seen people stoop to unbelievable lows just...

Dear Life Wanderers,

  Not an expert on life — still growing, still learning, still getting humbled in the most beautiful ways. I’ve laughed through messes and cried in silence, trying to make every moment count. But no one ever told me that you won’t always have it all figured out — and that’s okay. To anyone out there still figuring out life: I see you. We’ve all been in that place where time feels frozen, careers stall, love becomes confusing, and even your own reflection feels like a question mark. Every decision feels like a regret. Emotions come in waves, and none of them seem to land on the good side. But you’re not alone — not even a little bit. Growing up is a constant transition — from childhood to teens, teens to 20s, and 20s to 30s. Life brings a series of firsts: your first love, your first achievement, your first failure, your first heartbreak… your first healing. And honestly? Everything is a mess. Some messes are sweet. Some are brutal. And most of the time, there are no war...
