Sometimes I wake up with this weird emptiness in my chest.
Not sadness. Not fear. Just that “what am I even doing?” feeling.
Maybe you’ve felt that too — that quiet voice that pops up out of nowhere.
I used to look around and think everyone had a direction. Everyone had a plan. Everyone had answers.
And I was just here… trying to look normal while my mind whispered, “What are we even doing?”
The Moment It Cracked for Me
One night I was sitting in my room, lights off, scrolling through random reels. Not really watching, just trying to shut my brain up.
Suddenly this heaviness hit me. Like someone pressed pause inside me.
I kept thinking, “Is this really my life? Just drifting?”
And the truth came quietly: I was in a season of not knowing.
Takeaway: You’re allowed to not know your next move.
Life Isn’t a Straight Road
People talk like life goes step 1, step 2, step 3. But mine looks like scribbles on paper.
Some days I wanted to start something new. Some days I wanted to disappear. Some days I felt hopeful. Some days I wanted to quit everything.
I thought that made me “behind.” But I wasn’t behind. I was just alive.
Takeaway: Your life can be messy and still meaningful.
Small Tries Help More Than Big Plans
I stopped chasing some grand purpose. It was stressing me out.
So I tried small things instead. Wrote a little. Learned a tiny skill. Changed my mornings. Said yes to something harmless. Said no to something heavy.
These tiny experiments taught me more about myself than any big life plan.
Takeaway: Clarity comes from trying, not overthinking.
Social Media Made Me Feel Lost
Online, it looks like everyone is sprinting ahead. New jobs, new homes, new wins.
Meanwhile I was struggling to choose dinner.
But people only post their outcomes. Not their confusion. Not their fears. Not their nights of staring at the ceiling.
Takeaway: Don’t compare your confusion with someone’s highlight reel.
Your Purpose Doesn’t Have to Be Loud
Some days your purpose is just surviving the week. Drinking water. Sleeping better. Healing from something you don’t talk about.
And that’s still purpose.
Takeaway: Your purpose can be soft right now. It still matters.
Being Lost Isn’t the End
Feeling lost doesn’t mean your life is collapsing. It means something inside you is shifting.
You’re outgrowing an old version of yourself, and the new one hasn’t arrived yet.
Takeaway: Being lost is a sign that you’re changing.
The Truth That Finally Calmed Me
One night I told myself the most honest thing: “I don’t know what I’m doing… but I’m learning.”
That single sentence made me breathe again.
Takeaway: Honesty with yourself creates space to breathe.
You Don’t Need to Rush Your Life
We rush because we’re scared — scared of being judged or left behind.
But life doesn’t reward speed. It rewards awareness.
Take it slow. Move steady. Learn quietly.
Takeaway: Slow figuring out is still figuring out.
If You’re Feeling Lost Right Now…
You’re not failing. You’re not late. You’re not broken.
You’re just in a chapter that doesn’t have a title yet.
If you want honest stories and slow, gentle self-growth, I write them every day on Prosnic.
