Today while I was thinking about life, it suddenly hit me how long it is. People say life is short, and sure in the long run it might feel like that. But as I was contemplating the fact that the average lifespan is about 80 or 90 years, I thought, “How will I possibly live until then without getting bored? I have already endured so much. If I endure five times more than I already have, I will surely go insane, either from boredom, or from pain, or even both.”

But the only thing I really want out of life is to feel like there is a purpose. How do people live their entire lives without not wanting to die? I am not saying this in a morbid or, “life sucks I really don’t want to live anymore” way. It’s just that, from now on, I want my goal to be this: I never want to be bored with life as a whole. I want there to always be something that excites me. And when I look back at my life, I want to be able to say that I loved it wholeheartedly - the good parts and the bad.
