Chinese New Year is around the corner and with that, the questions that relatives ask while we eat melon seeds together: What are you going to study? Where are you going to work? When are you going to find a boyfriend? I am always ready for these questions, but the times when I was searching for purpose and meaning in life, answering these questions was very hard! It seemed like I had to justify my choices in life, that I was useful and productive or at least socially acceptable in their eyes. I knew that they loved me and wanted me to be happy, yet their questions implied that if I found a right and good purpose in life, I would be happy.
