She Who is Lost
Do any of you ever get the feeling that you have been put on Earth, in this time, this place, for a purpose? Something specific that you are destined to do?
I vascillate between believing that I do have a purpose that I am required to complete and believing that I am utterly alone and unguided with no goal in life. There are days where I think I'm being watched over - the pet project of some goddess who is protecting me until I fulfill a predestined purpose. I believe this because I feel I have been incredibly lucky in so many ways - cheating injury and death, acquiring certain skills, etc.
On the other hand, I feel like I have no direction in life. I am the epitome of a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none. I'm really good at an unbelievable spectrum of things, but I don't really excell at anything. I'm 26 years old, and have no direction in life. I don't even know what I want to do! It changes every day!
This is why I'm here. My beliefs are pagan, but my faith is wavering. I am a solitary practioner, but not out of choice. I have yet to meet anyone - in real life or online - who shares my particular set of beliefs. It never used to bother me, but lately I feel very much alone.
So to my original question - do you believe we have a destiny, or that life is simply what we make of it?
