Amazing and beautiful read. I’m an undergraduate at my university studying philosophy as well as psychology and every time I read anywhere the importance of philosophy, a sense of belonging fills my heart.
I discovered my calling for philosophy back in my junior year of high school at 16 and I’ve stuck by for 4 years now. I took a big interest in existentialism with the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre, Søren Kierkegaard and Absurdism with Albert Camus. I’m a deep introspective individual and would pry myself open with questions that reveal hidden layers about my authenticity. Philosophy has bled into other areas of my life and I would say it’s changed it for the better. Writing and voice recording is how I verbalize and crystallize my ideas and thoughts.
I will admit, the journey is a lonely one. I feel out of place when my peers are going out to large social events and parties but I want to sit back, sit at a cafe and talk about the important lessons a book has taught us.
I’m still dead-set on being a philosopher and blending in psychology because the world needs people like us. Reading your post has brought me comfort in knowing that my path is the right one for me and I treat this sacred pilgrimage towards wisdom with honor, humility and grace. Thank you.
Thanks for this comment! I am so glad you found something of value in the post, and that writing has been an outlet for you. Best of luck on your journey!
