The Meaning of Life
Though I’m young, inexperienced in many areas, and have not yet lived life to the fullest, I have found the three omni-present passions I know I will always live for: the yearning for valuable relationships, an undeniable connection with music and the lifelong search for God. Without my knowing, these three passions have effortlessly paved my path in life and guided my feet to walk, run, and skip along it.
First, I have sought meaningful friendships because they melt away the frigid solid part of my heart. In life people come and go; some leave footprints while others leave dust. I have sought intimacy with people to fill a bottomless void in my being that seems to absorb my happiness at an incredible speed. Companions drive away the loneliness that so easily overshadows us like a grey cloud. With true friends, there is always a pair of attentive ears hungry for juicy secrets, bitter complaints and sorrows. With true friends, there is always a shoulder to lean on for undying support.

As I hear the pounding beats and rich lyrics, my emotions stir accordingly. Maybe I’ll dance, maybe I’ll jump up and down, maybe I’ll cry when a song reaches deep into my soul. Absorbed in my own tranquil world, I pay no attention to outward appearances, pressure to do better, or unfair judgment. Throughout my 14 years of life on this planet, I have acknowledged and am grateful for that invisible link that...
