Purpose

I feel like something I’ve been struggling with immensely since the start of the year is finding my purpose. I feel I’m not alone in feeling there is more to life than waking up, eating, going to work, coming home and doing it all over again. Some fleeting moments of joy are sprinkled in between but for the majority of the time it feels like a rinse and repeat and that your life is passing you by. What is my purpose? What am I here to do? What defines me? Do I need to be defined by anything? I was having a discussion with my husband about being enough. He told me being me is just enough. Me being his partner, a sister, an aunt, a daughter is enough. I’m definitely guilty of living my life by comparison and I truly want to make a conscious effort to stop that. I look at what people my age have: a child, a house, a more established career, “purpose” and I let that effect my mental health. I need to be in control of my own life and most importantly live MY life at My own pace. 

I hope this post is making some sense. I wish I could say that in making this post it that means I’ve found my purpose. 😂😂.. No. I’m just putting it out there that I’m thinking about what ‘purpose’ means to me.

Faith

Just believe. Just believe. Just believe. Just believe. Just believe. Just believe! Job interview #2 tomorrow. For someone who has a hard time with change this is really big of me. I have fallen out of love with teaching. (have been for the last 1.5 years) I am ready for new challenges and opportunities. Just believeWeighing options and putting myself other there. Hoping I make the right choice and find a place that is right for me. I shouldn't dread going to work everyday if I am only 26.

I don't want to be somebody else. but my life just really sucks sometimes.

Who am I?

My name is Aaron.  I am 25 years old, I live in China, and I am going bald. Not bald, per se, but my hair is definitely thinner than it was a year ago, and thinner still than two years ago. Also, in the bathroom mirror, I can see my bare naked scalp whenever my hair is wet- the lone stringy strands pathetically clumping together to reveal the smooth, dandruff-ridden flesh beneath.  They are the cold drenched individuals who are too afraid to just- let go- and slide down to the floor drain with the rest of the shower water. 

It's like my body is going out of its way to remind me from top to bottom that I can not continue being the Philippino-American Greek Deity that I am today.  I can't help but wonder... In the future, will people look at me and still see the confident, self-assured, epitome of manliness that I am today?  Will international drug cartels and espionage organizations continue to mistake me for 007?  Will they continue to compare me to Tarzan, Batman, and Steve McQueen?

Or will they just say, 'hey! Bald guy!'...?

The future can be scary to think about.

The worst part is, all this business is happening on the top of my head. Just the top of my head. Whenever a breeze whips by, I can almost feel the weight of the missing hair as my head cools, and know that- within the next few years- I'm gonna be rocking one of them bald heads with a horseshoe shaped ring of hair sitting on my noggin. 

Like a less classy, less British but equally awesome Patrick Stewart.

Guess I'll just have to grow an awesome mustache.

Patrick Stewart with a mustache. Think about it.
