lately\u2014<br>Maybe life is just about coming to your own conclusions, failing, embracing the pain that follows, <br>and then fixing it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re living in a world where the internet pushes so much useless info into our heads.<br>We\u2019ve become addicted to &#8220;relatable&#8221; posts and videos.<br>But honestly? It\u2019s a trap. <br>We\u2019re forgetting how to think, judge, <br>and act for ourselves because we feel like we\u2019ve already achieved something just by watching others do it.<\/p>\n<p>Look around. <br>We\u2019re surrounded by addictions: cigarettes, porn, propaganda, endless scrolling, dramas, junk food, alcohol&#8230;<br>We tell ourselves these things make us happy. <br>We finish a long day, grab a beer with some snacks, turn on a video, and say, <br>&#8220;Now this is happiness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But maybe I shouldn&#8217;t have started thinking so much.<br>Albert Camus said in The Myth of Sisyphus that beginning to think is the beginning of being &#8220;undermined.&#8221; <br>We were happier when we knew nothing\u2014before we bit the &#8220;apple&#8221; of society. <br>Now, we\u2019re injected with things we never needed to know. <br>To me, true happiness is when you don&#8217;t even think about the word &#8220;happiness.&#8221; <br>Life is simply about enduring the pain.<\/p>\n<p>The world isn&#8217;t defined by what people say on SNS. <br>We\u2019re over 8 billion people, each living a unique life. <br>Yet, we let a tiny minority define what &#8220;women are like&#8221; or &#8220;men are like.&#8221; <br>We close ourselves off to the possibility that the person standing right in front of us might be different. <br>We\u2019ve lost the art of thinking alone, acting alone, falling, and getting back up.<\/p>\n<p>Society and school gave us structure, but they also trapped us. <br>I only realized this at 18, and it took me until 29 to figure out what I actually wanted to do. <br>I\u2019m honestly jealous of kids these days. <br>Until I graduated high school, I had no idea what I liked, what my talents were, or even who I was. <br>I just lived as I was told, without any self-awareness.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same with philosophy. <br>I used to love it, but now it feels empty. <br>If you love books and philosophy, please\u2014don\u2019t just blindly agree with me. <br>My thoughts are mine, meant for my life. <br>You need to ask your own questions, find your own answers, fail your own failures, <br>and find your own way to stand back up. <br>Listen to advice, sure, but remember that the final call is always yours.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I know God and Jesus. <br>I start every morning with prayer\u2014repenting, giving thanks, and just trying to feel Their presence. <br>I don\u2019t &#8220;study&#8221; the Bible like a textbook anymore. <br>I just read it for 30 minutes every night with the heart of a child. <br>I don&#8217;t force the questions; I let God provide them, and the answers too.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I\u2019m contradicting myself. <br>A minute ago, I said you should be the master of your own thoughts, <br>and now I\u2019m saying I give everything to God. <br>But that\u2019s why I try to live in the present. <br>My thoughts a minute from now will probably birth another contradiction.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m giving everything\u2014even myself\u2014to Him. <br>But the conclusion remains the same: don&#8217;t get swept away.<br>Keep your balance. Cut off what needs to be cut off. <br>In the end, you only know by doing.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no &#8220;right answer.&#8221; No failure, no success. Only realization. <br>You can only see the path by walking it. <br>Maybe that\u2019s why they say the hardships God sends are a blessing\u2014<br>because they\u2019re the only things that keep us moving forward.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
