Struggling with not having a purpose || You're not alone

[@ARandomDonut]

I'm glad you didn't totally center this around career like most videos about purpose do. I feel lucky to have found a purpose that has nothing to do with a career, and I never want to turn it into my job. I wouldn't mind making money off it, but that would come second to informing people about it. Other people enjoy the things I have chosen as my purpose and I want to help them do that. I'm also glad the pandemic happened because I wouldn't have had time to start it otherwise. 5 months with no mandatory school was the perfect time for me to find what I wanted to do. I hope you enjoy your purpose now and hope it evolves over time if you want it to :)

It sounds so silly but for some reason, I didn't know how big of a thing youtube was until we started up my husband's channel in 2021. I only used youtube to create a playlist for when I studied 😅 Now looking back, I wish I had known better so I could've started during the pandemic like you said cuz where would I be now? How much better would I be? Honestly, it would've helped me a lot during that time in my life to have had this as a fun project to work on. But you know, hindsight is 20/20. I'm so happy you've found something that you love and gives you meaning! Being able to monetize eventually would be nice since living is so expensive haha but yea it's not the main reason. I want community 😊

@@charminglykoko it makes sense to monetize with KZbin. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t personally like to monetize my passion. I fully support people who eventually want to monetize theirs. :)

Well ... life is not a straight line yeh ? No one travels the same path per se. Having said that, I think a lot of it has to do with the current microwave/convenience society that we live in nowadays also.

[@charminglykoko]

There's tons of potential influences that could be leading to this issue. The conveniences in life we've become accustomed to, social media, complacency, the lack of thinking for yourself due to convenience and comfort. Speaking from a first world country standpoint, as a whole, we no longer have basic survival as a driving force. The modern day advancements have eliminated that which is great, it allows for the exploration of other interests without the fear of survival holding you back. But I think instead of allowing our minds to take advantage of the advancements, we've allowed complacency to grow with the progressions. Maybe not at first, but moreso lately. In this day and age, I think it takes a lot of self awareness and effort to not only acknowledge the lack of purpose but to do something about it, to change that path.
