Tasha's Musings About . . . Life?

Ok so quite recently I have been seriously pondering the meaning of life, not just the physical living/breathing aspect of life, but also what it actually means to be alive. What it means to exist as a solitary human being on this planet which is a small one in a vast universe of planets. Is there a purpose to human existence? Does fate exist or are our lives up to chance and the decisions we make? The truth is I do not have answers for these questions and I could not possibly begin to describe what has led me to the point where I have been literally driving myself insane in what can only be described as one huge Existential Crisis where I'm not sleeping and barely eating.

What on earth is an Existential Crisis? I here you ask..
Well basically an Existential Crisis can be a moment or indeed a prolonged period of time where you question the very essence, fibre and foundations of your being! Who are you? What are you doing with your life? Where are you going? Why are you here? Are you truly happy? Is there a reason for human existence? What is the meaning of life? And the truth is you will drive yourself insane. We as humans just simply do not have the answers to these questions. There is no guide book to human existence, no set of rules that if you follow meticulously will lead you to inevitable happiness.


At some point or other in your life you will encounter these questions, maybe not to the full extend of an Existential Crisis but the thoughts will certainly cross your mind. You will question both yourself and the meaning of life countless times throughout your existence, and as stated before there are no answers and no reassurance to distract from that fact that in life these questions are inevitable.

So what then can we do when we get these doubts and feelings?
We struggle on. If there is one thing I am certain of it is the resilience of human beings and human nature. If you are truly unhappy then maybe it's time to make that change you've always dreamed. Without sounding cliched or feeding into the whole "YOLO," culture, you do only live once so we've got to make the best of the time we've got here for the short time we are here and that means soldiering on and not dwelling on these feelings for too long :)


If you have read this, well thank you so much and thank you kindly for taking the time ♥. If you yourself have gone trough or are experiencing an Existential Crisis, I feel your pain and understand how frustrating it is to literally ponder the point of existence and to try and remove all this doubt and uncertainty in your mind, one thing is for sure though..things can only get better! So hang in there :)

Until Next Time Lovlies,

Tasha.
