perfectly normal

People often talk about finding purpose as if it’s a single treasure hidden somewhere waiting for discovery, but reality feels much more fluid. Purpose changes as you grow, as your environment shifts, and as your priorities evolve. What feels meaningful today might feel ordinary next year, and that’s perfectly normal. We forget that human identity is more like a river than a statue—constantly moving, carrying pieces from every experience. Maybe the goal isn’t to chase one grand purpose, but to notice the small things that make your days feel lighter: a good conversation, a solved problem, an unexpected laugh. These small patterns, collected over time, often shape a life that feels more intentional than any single breakthrough moment ever could.
