Persistence, and fair amount of luck.

Though I imagine experience varies.

[fettering]

[ well, this is a familiar question. ]

in my experience i know most humans seem to sort that out for themselves, at least
i was made tho and so other people have always decided my purpose for me
maybe it depends on whether youre born or made??

What are you good at?

Re: text

[knaval]

not a lot
just basic stuff rly

[fervidclaret]

I'm not sure how it works for most people. I think I've always known my purpose, but I chose not to fulfill it, so.

I'm not sure what I'll do with myself now! Not just here but in general.

[knaval]

didnt have a choice tho

[versusseeker]

Sometimes, people tell you what to do. Before I came here, I didn't really have choices. And now I have a job I was given when I got here.

If you want more - I guess you have to try different things and see what you like. Maybe go to school. I've been thinking about getting a g.e.d and going to college.

What do you think you were meant to do?

Re: text

[knaval]

not school
definitely not school

[thanks to his mto program, the idea of education terrifies him.]

i kno what it was
but ive done it
so now wht?

[private; voice]

[hellrisen02]

I... thought the same thing. After the war.

...

My best friend, I don't know if I ever told you about him. He was always the one, I guess, I ended up looking to when I thought, 'what should I do now?' Even though half the time he was outta his gourd, too. [He chuckles quietly.]

...Well, he ended up in a crypod. I guess I never figured it out, either. Sorry.

[The last word is said with genuine empathy.]

Re: [private; voice]

[knaval]

[well, it's both duo and private, so riptide figures the guy worked it out. he's clever, so riptide isn't surprised. he drops the anon.]

sorry

just right now
after the stuff that happened at home
nothin is going rite

[bindsthedead]

The path was layed out before me. But did it choose me, or did I choose it?

Re: text

[knaval]

what wouldve happened if you hadn't chosen it?
i had something similar but if i had ignored it a bunch of ppl woulda died cuz of me so i think i really
had no choice in practice

[drivesadesk]

You just make things up as you go along. Or you just obey a tyrannical government. Or you rebel, and have a fried die saving you, and spend the rest of your life trying to make sure that death meant something.

There are a lot of choices, really.

Re: Text

[knaval]

that's specific

[onlydoubts]

in my experience, you don't.

you just find yourself in a place you didnt plan on and work with it.

Re: text »

[knaval]

pretty much my life so far
i need a goal to work towards cant improvise like that

text;

[storyseeker]

I didn't. I decided myself.

Re: text;

[knaval]

what was it like
leading up to that?

[kidsmenu]

You determine what makes you angriest about your life and seek with a vengeance to correct it.

[knaval]

that's a good vibe
i like this one

what was yours?
