I think i understand what you mean. No other person then myself are capable of knowing what I want out of life. I need to take 100% responsibility from my life and stop relying on others to give me the perfect answer. Thank you,

@universe I want to become a fiction author. When I did some research I found out many authors read books in order to improve their writing, so I started doing the same thing. But I am worried it might be a waste of time similar to video games. My question is: How is reading fiction bad or good? Is there better ways I can improve my writing? Do I need to be more specific about my life purpose? Or the question I am asking? Hope this is not becoming complicated.

My life purpose is becoming a fiction author and recently I have started reading a lot of fiction books in order to improve my grammar, gain inspirasjon for my own books and understand how books are structured. But ever since i have started reading fiction I have wandered if this is just me trying to escape improving myself or if reading fiction books is actually a great way for me to become better as a author? Is fiction books bad or does it depend on how you read them? Would love to have some more perspectives on this issue instead of only my own, thanks for posting (if you do).

What I plan to contemplate 1. What is a story? What makes a great story? 2. What is creativity? Where does creativity come from? 3. What is inspiration? How to get inspired? Where does inspiration come from? 4. Where does ideas come from? Is anything original or just made from something else? Where originated ideas from? 5. What are words? Why are we able to communicate with words? What ways can you communicate without words? 6. Is anything oppsite from something else? Does there even exist anything oppisite of something else?
