"An advice, Rogan?" she asked. I guess, here goes nothing.

"Yeah," I said, I can't look at my mom in the face. It's just that. Can my mom handle the truth? Who knows "I kind of worried."

"About what?"

"About my future," I said, I see the looked on her face, her concerned look at her face, and I heave a deep sigh on her "about I want to be in the future... I-I just can't decide a thing or two about it..."

My mother nods at me and said.

"Go on,"

"Okay, as I was saying," I went on "I just don't know what my purpose is. I always ask myself. 'What is my purpose?' and all of that. This feeling... I don't understand."

And then my mom approached me and hugged me for some reason. I can feel the warmth, I like it.

"It's okay to feel confused at times," my mom said to me. I don't know what he means by it's okay. But... I am confused right now about what I wanted to be or who I want to be.

"Mom, I think it's just-"

"It's alright," she said and she keeps on hugging me. I don't know why "it's okay to feel lost at these times like this. I mean you're just a kid after all but I'm not treating you like a baby anymore. You're not like that."

I chuckled at her and I said.

"Aww, mom"

"Sometimes people find their purpose in life," she said, I think that was a piece of usual advice to me "sometimes they feel lost or empty when it's not their true purpose. To overcome this feeling of purposelessness. Is to find your true purpose in life. The one that is right for you. You don't have to find it. You could just make it yourself."

Make my purpose? How am I going to make my purpose in life if I can't even find one on my own? I guess I'll try to find it first, then make one.

"I guess I'll try, mom," I said to her.

"Try what, exactly?"

"To my find my purpose," I said, cheerfully as if I were some sort of kid "my destiny. The destiny that I want to face."

My mother smiled at me and she said.

"I know that someday... you'll always find your destiny,"

I know that is hard to find it or to make it but I'm sure that will find it and I still got plenty of time for me to find it. After all. That's all there is to it. This is just the beginning of my story. My story to find my true purpose. My very own destiny.
