For what reasons do people live? I have been searching inside my head, mostly in the form of unanswered questions. But I guess it all comes down to this. Now, I like to think that life does not have any purpose, you can just simply live!
​1. Food: I definitely find meaning in food. It is one of the reasons I want to study hard, work hard and cook myself. This primary need drives me to get up every morning and cook something new. It is a simple pleasure and reflects the mood of the chef. Food connects traditions and cultures, families and lovers, marriages and deaths, donations and feasts. I would like to try everything that life has to offer.
​
2. Stories:Â Ordinary stories, especially. I have seen courage and fearlessness in some of the people I meet daily. I see resilience in my mother, a struggle in my father, a hope in my friends. Untold stories, and most probably not glorious, but they are some of the most powerful I know. It is where I seek meaning, where some unknown power in me rises and inspires me unlike anything else.
​3. Future: Thinking about the future is a bad addiction, especially if you dream. It is an endless spiral, a continuous loop, a bottomless abyss but people never notice that they are stuck. Dreams make me think so much, but it makes me work, it makes me observe, it even makes me laugh. We constantly try to secure time, but in the process, we forget that we ourselves are temporary. No one hates dreaming, it makes them constantly endeavour. Bucket lists and plans are some of the reasons we keep moving on. It should get better eventually.
