DIARY ENTRY #003

this little entry is like pages from my daily diary <3


I’ve been thinking a lot about purpose lately—what it really means and how we’re supposed to figure it out. For so long, I believed it was about finding that one thing I was meant to do, like some magical answer would suddenly fall into my lap and give my life meaning. I spent so much time trying to “figure it out,” until I finally realized it’s not a puzzle to solve. It’s not something to find—it’s something to remember.

Purpose is already within you, waiting to be uncovered. It’s your true essence, your natural gifts, and the unique qualities you effortlessly bring to the world just by being yourself.

It’s not about a job title or a single moment of clarity. It’s about alignment. It’s about reconnecting with yourself—maybe even for the first time—and letting that authentic version of you lead the way. When you start showing up as who you truly are, everything else begins to fall into place: your work, your relationships, your whole life.

I’m still very much on the journey of figuring this out, and most days, it feels messy as fuck. But the more I let go of trying to find it and instead focus on simply being myself, the clearer everything becomes.


Shit We’re Figuring Out: Finding Purpose & Living in Alignment

diving a bit deeper here


I really want to dive into this big, beautiful question I’ve been pondering for about a decade now: What is my purpose? Because honestly, I feel like so many of us—especially in our twenties—are out here trying to live lives that feel meaningful and aligned, yet we don’t fully know what that looks like or really means. We want the jobs, the relationships, and the experiences that actually feel true to who we are, but we’re still in the middle of exploring who we are…so we end up lost in the sauce of the mundane. Finding ourselves a bit stuck in this conditioned version of life that doesn’t quite feel right, yet we don’t totally know how to find what does. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s something I’ve thought about endlessly, struggled with deeply and felt like was worth unpacking together.

On Authenticity:

Well, it all starts with authenticity. It’s truly what’s at the heart of alignment. and what does it mean? It means showing up as who you really are, not who you think you’re supposed to be. But here’s the tricky part: a lot of us don’t fully know who we are because we’ve been taught to conform, to fit in, or to meet certain societyal expectations. So, the journey to authenticity often starts with unlearning what doesn’t feel true to you and uncovering the parts of yourself you may have set aside. This requires honesty, courage and a big ass ego death.
