Do you think you were destined to something?

[Rocinante]

Wealth, fame, status. These are things every man sets out to attain; the only thing this world has to offer.

As long as I can remember I always wanted to be a mogger guitarist in a metal band. I have rockstar phenotype and looks so i don't understand why.
There is no point in living the rest of this life if I can't experience what I want. I deserve to be recognized and appreciated.

I no longer dwell on the past. I can either feel devitalized by the circumstances that lead me to this point, or I can take my life into my own hands and surpass all those I coexist with.
A minor inconvenience, but I will do anything to attain the life I should have been given. They wouldn't let me among them, therefore I will rise above them. I will gain my rightful place in the world.

I refuse to accept our life's are predestined, I am the lord of my universe. There is nothing I have in relation with filthy commoners.
Your life wasn't worth living if you never achieved greatness. A name that transcends time is the only thing you should strive for.

I sometimes think I was destined to CTB from the beginning. That there never was any choice for me.
Whether it's destiny or not, I feel like this is the only way my life could have went. I've never been happy with things, even at the "height" of my life where it's been the best it's been I've still been miserable.

Do you think you were destined to something?

NOPE!!!

Life is just random shit. If you aren't born wealthy or with talent or special gifts.... Your screwed.
Even people with gifts don't make it.

 

[BloomingStrella]

Life is just a combination of uncontrollable circumstances, and how you interpret and deal with them is what makes or breaks you. There is no such thing as fate or destiny. You decide what you want to make of it, but also have to be fully aware there will be intense suffering, both if you don't reach your goal, and if you do. Desire is the source of all suffering, but it's something all of us humans have to deal with, in some way or another. Even those born with "gifts" or "blessings" could go nowhere if they don't know how to interpret their abilities and make use of them.

Personally, I don't really want to be a name that transcends through time, because people are just as complicated as emotions. I'd rather quietly die an unknown than be some extremist who's known only for the terrible things they did. It's kind of inevitable, though, because everyone has different views on morality. What makes someone a hero makes another a villain.

this is a good question

I lost motivation to do all of the things I thought I was destined to be (an Artist (for Zines or Graphic Novels), Filmmaker, Journalist, Psychiatrist, or Disc Jockey)

mostly because of other people and partly because of my mental health and because I am lost + life is just a random series of events
so I've tried many different hobbies and have been good at them which is strange

so I don't think that I was destined to do anything after all except maybe wandering and learning various information and helping others

I think it has a lot to do with knowing yourself and what you want to do I guess

so I am jealous of those who know who they are and what they want to do or be known for and actually go for it despite all of the bad things that may discourage them along the way

(sorry if there are any errors or if this doesn't make any sense)

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Destined to become a dysphoric incel. Mission succeeded.

 

[The anhedonic one]

I feel as though I have definitely been destined to suffer.
Way too many bad things have happened to me to think otherwise.

 

[yellowtin42]

i think i've actually fulfilled my destiny to some capacity

Do you think you were destined to something? - No, I do not have the required tools to fit into society.

Growing up, everyone was and still is a workaholic; they are and were never around, and they never had any real time for me (and still don't).

So, I had no support structure or guidance, and no one helped me when I did understand the problems that faced me.

The response I got then and still get is: Everyone has problems. Solve them yourself.

In my youth, I dealt with long-term bullying, effectively having my childhood stolen, so I had and still have zero self-esteem, etc.

My own family sees no value in me, so why would the world see me any differently? So Why be ambitious? Why would I think I could be or do anything?

As they value success and one's ability to take care of themselves alone, and since I am not doing that, the circle I live in views me as the one who failed to launch and doesn't want anything to do with me until I am on the same level as them.

the matter of predestination and free will, very interesting
if we consider the causes and the effects we can understand why we are where we are, sometimes it is too obvious, and other times it is not, because the causes and consequences are so many that we cannot see it, and I call that destiny
It is interesting, where that free will? It is true that we make decisions in the present, we can even start thinking and planning, deciding the direction we will choose
I don't know, yes and no, both at the same time
greetings, be well

 

[Lamentice]

I used to. When I was younger I badly wanted to be a fiction novelist, and I remember being mostly convinced it was going to happen. But I haven't written in years, nor have I had much interest to.

 

[savoytruffle]

i used to when i was younger, now ive realized it's all just random crap

 

[cgrtt.brns]

i used to believe i was born to either help animals and save nature or die young. now i realise how fucking impossible the former is, nothing i could do would ever actually help, so its just been the latter for a long time now. i wasnt meant to be born so the only thing im destined for is to go back to wherever i was before i was born.

 

[Mechanical Dance]

No one is *literally* destined to do something. If we take it from a more metaphorical sense, some people are born in certain circumstances where one could say that they are destined to do or be something, for example, the son of a king is destined to be a prince.
I don't think I'm destined to something in that way either, but I do have my own goal, a purpose if you will.
I'd like for my suffering not to be in vain. I want to be an inspiration for those around me to either quit existence too, or get up their asses and make an actual change for the world, even if it means sacrificing themselves in one way or another.
Realistically, none of this will happen, and if it happens, I'll be dead and have no way to know. But it"s always nice to think that my death could actually make a positive impact on the world.

 

[FormerlyFe(IV)]

That's easy, evolution figured that out - Eat. Breathe. Reproduce. Die.

My parents raised me with a plan in mind. Go to school. Do college. Get degree. Leave Brazil
I only recently thought to myself and found a better plan than that.
I now have a life goal. But a purpose? NAH.

 

[ggetout33]

When I was younger I thought I was destined to be a musician. Achieved that to some degree by playing in bands for a few years.

But nowadays I don't think I really have a set destiny at all. Whatever happens, happens I guess.

 

[SuicidalOrganism]

I was destined to be the pirate king but roger went in my way

 

[suicidalloser]

Yes—death itself. I do not enjoy anything.

 

[Navi]

Like many people here, I've lost the motivation to do anything. I remember when I was younger I wanted to become a singer or a voice actor or just something with my voice, but now that I'm older I know I probably won't land any of them. I still sing but now it's just something I do to pass the time. I'm not passionate about it anymore.
