There’s so much pressure today to know exactly what you want to do, be, and achieve — often before you’re even grown up. But the truth is, almost no one really knows. And that’s okay. Life isn’t about picking one path and sticking to it — it’s about daring to start walking.
Your brain keeps developing well into your twenties. During that time, your interests, values, and dreams shift. What feels right now might change later — and that’s not confusion, that’s growth. Not knowing is part of becoming.
People often think meaning comes from finding a purpose, but it’s usually the other way around: purpose grows from trying, failing, feeling, learning. Life isn’t a finished puzzle — it’s something you build as you live it.
Alma’s tips:
Let yourself be curious instead of certain. Ask: what sparks my curiosity right now? Follow that, one small step at a time, without needing to know where it leads. You don’t need a plan — you need presence. And when you doubt yourself, remember this: you’re not behind, you’re becoming. The search itself is part of living.
