I Have No Purpose in Life, and Therein Lies My Life Purpose Many people with chronic illness feel like that they have no purpose in life. Here's how I make sense of this timeless but difficult question.

"What I need to do, is to simply do. #LifePurpose can come later, but #regret is always too late. (..this is just 1 way of approaching such #despair & some days I do choose to employ the exact opposite philosophy to keep me going).": buff.ly/kGQQetu

In Defense of the Wild Girl Within - Linda K Sienkiewicz When I was a girl, I wanted to be Pippi Longstocking. I craved the freedom to be fully myself, messy, loud, bold, and unapologetically different. Who did you want to be?

Should, Should Not (a poem) | @DrAlexandriaSZ.bsky.social vist.ly/47n9p
