Humanists/Naturalists: What gives your life meaning?

RE: Humanists/Naturalists: What gives your life meaning?
Quote:What gives meaning to your personal life? Share your story.

A few things, really.

Music/singing/songwriting - for as long as I can remember I have expressed myself through music, no matter if i have been angry or sad, or happy or whatever. I often find it hard to express how I feel when I'm confronted with a situation where I am required to in real life, so I put it in song. I am never able to tolerate silence. if I am at home alone, there is always music going somewhere. If music was taken from my life I seriously don't think I could live.


My life has the most meaning when I am independent. I'm a lone wolf of sorts, and mostly that mentality was forced upon me by other people trying to do everything for me, which I absolutely can't stand, so much so that I now have a need for personal distance from others, and I feel threatened if they entre my personal space without my leave, and if I absolutely require assistance, it must be upon my terms.

I live for travel, for doing things with my life. Performing in different places, all the little things that make me me give my life meaning.

people also give my life meaning. I am a community services student, so acts of kindness and compassion and social justice mean a lot to me.
Quote:Frankly, I wish that the fruits of my work useful and glorious appearing of the world that the fruits of my labor awaken the mind and unlock the feeling of those who are deprived of light.
Ridiculous to say, outside the sky was nothing.
There is not one world, one earth, one sun, but as many worlds as we see bright sparks on us.
