  21. Remember when we first met? When my grocery bag ripped open, sending all my produce and cans and boxes of cereal tumbling onto the wet ground? When you stopped to help me pick them up, even though it was still raining and you were getting wet, too? Remember when I was such a klutz that we ended up going for coffee? Well, I … well when I saw you, I ripped my bag on purpose.

  26. What is the purpose in anything we do? Is there really a reason for war, for love, for hate, for passion, for anything? or is it a trick we play on ourselves to give us reason to be who we are. Regardless of what it is, I will love, hate, fight for, and be passionate about anything I want, for that is what gives me purpose to be.

  27. I don’t really know what my purpose in life is supposed to be. Sometimes I think I’ve figured it out, but then I just fall back again. It’s like the world doesn’t want me to succeed. But I guess over time I’ll figure out what I’m meant to do. For now, I’ll just be me.

  31. Some will say we are born for a purpose. Whether thats for god or hummanity I don’t know. But i know what I beleive. We are all simply a freak of nature in a nut shell. There is no reason we are here it just happened. So then whats the purpose of being alive? There is none. Theres no need to stress because there is nothing expected of us.

  32. what is the purpose of this game. it must be something about beating that purple line.
    if i can make it all the way down before all of the time, that’d be fine.

  33. What is the purpose of hate. What is the purpose of war. What is the purpose of all that we have done previous and before. Experience. History in the making. This is what we are and this is who we are. We let go to have purpose. We live to have purpose. Because we create what no one else ever would. This is my purpose: to let it be. So please, let it be. Just for me. So I can live up to my purpose. Thank you. And your purpose? What may this be? Please, realize what I have realized. Contribute and you will find purpose within yourself. Fill in the blank – Your purpose:

    A purpose to share.
    My purpose is to
    Show the world I care.

    And every newborn tree.

  39. There’s no purpose in life. People try to make believe that there is, and that’s why religion, war, and murder happens. All horrible things for a person’s sanity. People without purpose seem to think that’s why they fail, and that’s because they think they need a purpose to live instead of just living.

  40. what is your purpose? dont know? well thats alright. people dont have to know their purpose yet, or ever. who says your need a purpose at all? as long as youve got drive and love and happiness–i guess thats the purpose after all.
