My Answers to 7 Strange Questions: Q1

I was just "looking for my purpose in life", by typing that exact phrase into the Google search tab and clicking 'Enter'. I then came across an article entitled "7 Strange Questions That Help You Find Your Life Purpose". Frankly, the questions aren't that strange or weird but they are thought-provoking and unique. Instead of the typical "What are you passionate about?" and "What are your goals?", this one fits the bill for determining what you NEED to do and WHAT to pursue the search of your "life purpose". Thus, let me now answer these 7 questions (individually because I don't wanna cram them all in a blog post & create an eye sore of words) and probably have a clear idea on what I actually want to define my life to be.

1. What is your favorite shit flavor of sandwich and does it come with an olive?
This question is basically asking, "What sort of crap are you willing to tolerate in order to achieve success?". Based on my previous experiences with rejections, I had my handmade crafts unappreciated or worse, thrown away plenty of times by my friends and family. My handicraft gifts would take a minimum of 5 hours to make and I take every one of my projects seriously. What's more, the fingers hurt the most after every project due to my lack of professional crafting equipment. But I was always left satisfied as well every time I finish a project. I would take pictures and admire my work and then boast about it on social media.

Another thing, I used to dream about being a YouTuber and I finally made my first scripted video, "How YouTubers Make Their Videos". It was basically me talking to the camera about reenacting famous YouTubers' taglines and their signature "funny" move. For instance, Jenna Marbles' constant swearing and Ryan Higa's ranting. However, after I posted the video on Facebook, I was laughed at in school the next day and thought to myself, "This was a mistake". That's when I made all my videos private and deleted my Youtuber dream from my memory of goals.

I think blogging could be one other thing I am passionate about too, because I have received tons of crap from friends and family about my other personal blog. About how insensitive I was towards other people's privacy, posting their pictures without their permission and other sort of crap like that. Even after all that, I still continued blogging my emotions out. I even blogged my mental breakdowns, my sorrows, my fears and my unhappiness. Basically, blogging saved me. I did delete that blog for a period of time because I realized how foolish I used to be, but then we all have a side of us we wish to hide but when that side of us is revealed, we feel much more lighter and at ease. So yeah, I am proud to be a blogger, regardless of what other people say.
