Freedom isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Pretty much since I was a kid, I knew that my life had a purpose. I didn't know what that purpose was, only that I had one. A path, if you will, that the Prophets had laid out for me. There were times when I would be compelled to go in a certain direction, or away from another direction, for no reason that I could see. And any time I had to make some sort of life-changing decision, I could query the Prophets about which way was wrong and which was right.

When I went to visit my aunt in Hong Kong in 2010, I fulfilled my purpose. I was in the right place at the right time for whatever it was I needed to do. I still don't know what the purpose was. But by querying, the Prophets tell me that I did what I was supposed to and didn't fail.

Since then, my life has had no further purpose. I am free to do whatever I want. This sounds like it would be great, all those choices that I can make all by myself and all. But: now I can't query the Prophets about life-changing decisions, which way is right, which way is wrong. I'm on my own.

It's not all it's cracked up to be.
