what even is the purpose of life?

  One: Maybe you’re depressed

  Two: Maybe you’re tricked by capitalism and religion into believing everything is special and needs a grand purpose

  Three: We desperately need things on earth right now, dog shelters are overrun, solar panels need to be built and sold, bus lanes needs to be put in roads

  Four: Just because it all ultimately means nothing, empires rise and fall, some remembered some forgotten, doesn’t mean nothing matters to someone else, I still remember 4th grade friendships and the things they taught me. Even if I never see them again. They still matter.

    Having a grounded big-picture perspective and being depressed can be really hard to tell apart

  Oh yeah? I’ll start my own life. With Blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget about the life.

  This looks so familiar…

  Is this the subway station in PowerWasher Simulator (aka the game that made me get diagnosed with ADHD)?

    It might be the tunnel from Exit 8

    Nah, never forget, Sisyphus had meaning in his life, he helped a kidnapped daughter, he secured an ever lasting spring of water for a village… the gods punished him because he kept tricking them and helping himself and other people, masses of normal people.

      He chose to do those things, so… you could say he created his own meaning in the midst of an inherently absurd and meaningless universe? 😉

  You’re not only allowed to make your own meaning, there is no other choice.

  Then don’t.

  Sit in it, ask it questions, find out what it’s all about.

  9 times out of 10, it’s just your inner child who’s been neglected and misunderstood. Once you take the time to give love to your inner less developed psyche, you’ll not need to find escapism.

  Because there will be no pain to escape from.

  Love yourself, you deserve it.

  And just to get you started… Let me open the door for you:

  On the plus side, you only have to keep busy until the wonderful day it all finally ends. sob

  Turns out getting your life together doesn’t really ease the constantly simmering existential dread.

  At least I know that now.
