"Why Am I Still Here?"

It's natural to feel lost sometimes, as if life is just a cycle of empty routines—waking, sleeping, filling time with things that feel pointless. You wonder why you’re still here, why life carries on when meaning seems hidden or absent. But the truth is, every life—including yours—holds quiet potential that may not yet have revealed itself. Maybe right now you are in a waiting season, a slow chapter where purpose feels distant. But your existence itself matters, even if you don’t yet see how. Sometimes just being here—breathing, thinking, feeling—is enough for this moment. Purpose isn’t always loud or grand; sometimes it grows slowly, waiting for you to see it when you are ready. You are not meant to waste away; you are meant to live—but gently, patiently, until life shows you why. And that reason can still unfold.
