I was taken aback a little bit.
I am definitely not lost.
Everything looked the same.

Everything felt the same.
I wake up each morning, go to work, come home, eat and then sleep.
Like deja vu, I do the same thing the following day.

Like a hamster running on a wheel.
Not really going anywhere.
There was no final destination.
It was true.I was lost.Not exactly sure where I was going in life.
As a kid, the plan I was given was simple to follow.
Then you will eventually retire and enjoy your mature years taking Caribbean cruises or playing golf.
Despite having a plan in place, I lost my focus.
I lost my passion.
I followed the rules and got lost along the way.
I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life anymore.
I had become a bystander to my own life, a spectator to my own show.
But being lost was probably the best thing that could have happened to me.
I began writing again.
A passion that I have had since I was four years old.
However, to my surprise, Thought Catalog published my first piece.
This was the impetus I needed to keep on writing.
I had suppressed my creativity for so long I had forgotten what I truly loved.
It felt therapeutic to write about my experiences in life and to share it with people.
I began to explore other interests, from travelling, to meditation, doing yoga and learning a language.
I realised that my happiness is not defined by my career or college degree.
I am becoming more comfortable with feeling a little bit uncomfortable in life.
Not having all the answers does not freak me out as much as it did before.
I am no longer trying to control every aspect of my life.
I no longer want the fear of failing or losing to rule over me.
I want to create my own path, to forge my own future and to choose my own destiny.
I now know that it was an important phase in my life to feel lost.
It pushed me to seek out what I truly want in life.
To try new things and to escape my comfort zone.
Because to live a life not pursuing what truly fulfils us will lead to a limited and unfulfilling existence.
And that truly sucks!
