What was I made for?

5 months too long. Hello. I'm back!

After a few hectic months, here I am, back at it. A quick recap of the last 5 (inactive) months: I graduated college in December, helped out a family friend as a nanny for their kids while I searched for a job, applied for a few, and eventually landed a Social Media Manager position at a digital marketing company through chatting with a family friend! With this job I get to work from home, have a flexible schedule, and get to do almost the same thing I did in my college job - score!

So here we are, let's get into it!

This is my 4th month in my new job, and so far so good. However, with the ability to work from home comes extra time with my thoughts...just what I need. Per usual, I got to thinking. Is this what I am meant to do? Is this the right path? With these questions, deeper ones followed; Will I know what I am meant to do or be? Will I experience a "light bulb" moment? Is this my purpose?

Maybe I will never know, and maybe I'm not supposed to.

I've sat with these questions for weeks, and I think I am satisfied with the answer I came up with, because it brings me peace and keeps me hopeful.

Here it goes.

Maybe I am meant to be different things throughout my life. Maybe I am not limited to just one thing. Maybe I will find several things I am meant to do that bring me happiness and fulfillment - like I finally know what I was made for.

I truly do believe we are not limited to just one thing that gives us purpose.

Everyone is made for something - but, when do we know?

I know I am not the only one who has or has had these questions. However, I do feel as though people my age maybe ask these questions more often, and this is for a number of reasons. First, we are at the age(s) of graduating, engagements, weddings, babies, etc., and with all of these events, we can become very stressed and start comparing ourselves to those around us. Second, we are young and still trying to find our place in this world, and that's not to say people older than us aren't. Looking for jobs and making big, adult decisions can be accompanied with lots of stress!

Of course these are not the only reasons, but they are the top 2 that come to mind while I am writing this.

Have you had the "light bulb" moment? Have you found fulfillment? If you have not, I have faith that you will. I am rooting for you.

This was sort of a heavy topic - finding your purpose, but I chose to write about it after a few of my close people and I were chatting about how stressed we have been trying to find what we're supposed to be or do. YOU ARE NOT LIMITED. It is okay to outgrow jobs, relationships, towns, etc.

We all have a purpose.

So, what's yours?
