“You don’t have to be useful. You are not required to come up with something to say.” In reading this poem, this line stuck out to me. For mainly one reason, some humans, spend a lot of our lives trying to figure out our purpose, and I have struggled with this. Trying to think why and what we are supposed to do with our lives. Many times I have felt that you are only important for actions that set you apart from others, that you have to be this huge important person and change lives and pave the way for millions of people. While those people are important, the ones who don’t make “revolutionary” changes are just as important. I don’t need to rush myself to be someone or do something huge to recognize the value and importance of myself. Maybe our purpose isn’t to be “useful”l or to change the world, maybe our purpose is to just enjoy life and love one another. Changing the world doesn’t have to start or end with changing a million people, it can be changing yourself, your community, and your loved ones. I am sure this line can and has been interpreted in many different ways but this line and the last one were extremely comforting to me, there’s no need to rush in life or stress over things we cannot control, because as Stephanie Burt says, “Some of us are going to be okay,” and I know I will be one of them.
