Life

What is the true meaning of living?

By Samantha JPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I feel like I’m suffocating. Not getting the most out of life. I wake in a morning, stare at myself and wonder why I have settled for mediocrity. All I do is work. No excitement in my life. I’ve never left this big city yet I haven’t even seen half of itself. Trapped in a sea of people all doing the same. The pressure is rising and I need to get out. I want to learn about the world and what more it has to offer. I didn’t believe in regrets. Couldn’t change what had already happened. I stare at my compute day in day out and wonder - “this cannot be it?” Life must have more meaning than this. I feel like I’m suffocating. And I feel like it’s never going to change.
