Maybe there is no purpose or destiny or a higher being.
I am just one person in a sea of many,
living, loving, failing and falling.
And yet, no matter how much I’m hurting,
I find myself getting back up every time,
lifted up by an urge I don’t fully understand
called upon to live out my purpose:
I’m making a life—
a life that overflows with love in my heart
when I close my eyes at night.
