Chapter 1: The Quest for More

Every day, I ponder the question: Is there something more to life, or is it merely a fairytale?

At 26, I made the decision to leave my apartment, feeling drained from the demands of a full-time job I disliked and the relentless cycle of daily chores. The stress of merely existing pushed me to seek a deeper purpose. I moved into my brother's home after my lease expired and opted for part-time work, determined to explore what I truly wished to pursue in life.

When I unexpectedly lost my job, I found it to be a blessing in disguise. This provided me with the opportunity to delve into what I wanted from my life. I began receiving unemployment benefits and took a part-time position at a library.

Almost a year has passed since I started working at the library, yet I still feel far from uncovering that elusive “more” — the essence that many of us yearn for, which brings meaning to our jobs, our choices, and our relationships. I had hoped that by leaving my previous life behind, I would discover what my spirit truly craved. However, if I’m honest, I often feel just as aimless as I did before.

There are no clear answers or instructions to lead me through this journey, just a cloud of frustration and the fear of what lies ahead. I can't help but wonder when I might transition from this sense of being lost to finding that greater purpose that could enrich my life.

Is there truly more to existence than simply working to meet financial obligations? I believe there must be. What about you? Have you uncovered your own “more”?
