Our Stranger Meaning



My past experiences, current pleasures, and future goals are what give my life meaning. All three of these things are connected and add meaning to my life in different ways. My past experiences have made me the person I am today. There were many good things and also some bad things that happened in my past, and both the good and the bad have contributed to who I am today, and all of those experiences have added some kind of meaning to my life. Experiences can change you for better or worse and will always be a part of your life.
It’s always easiest to say what is currently meaningful to you, but it is also most likely to change as you age. Currently, I would say some of the most meaningful things to me would be music, my friends, and my family. I think I will always enjoy music and that it will always be a part of my life, but what I listen to now is not necessarily what I’ll listen to in the future. It currently adds meaning to my life, but it may not always. My friends are very important to me, but there’s no guarantee that who I hang out with now will be a part of my future. Friends come and go, but the times you spend together and the memories you make will always add a meaning to your life, even if it doesn’t last forever. Family is forever and I know my family will always add meaning to my life. Even if we don’t always get along, I would never want to be separated from them.
My future goals add meaning to my life because they are the things that motivate me to do anything. Because there are things I want in the future, I work hard now to make sure I can get them. I know that if I want a good career, I have to put in a lot of effort and hard work. Without goals, I would see no reason to do anything, so that’s why my aspirations give meaning to my life.

  1. I really like how you talked about how your past, present, and future give your life meaning. Most people only consider the past and present when thinking about the meaning in their life, but where they're going is a result of the past and present.
