The Meaning of Life

[Trasch17]

To quote god (from a show I don't remeber the name of)
"The meaning of live is... there is no. I gave you a gift. Enjoy it!"

 

[Mournful Crow]

I am currently at a cross-roads in my life. I've been extensively examining what I should be doing with the time I've been given, and I can't come up with a definite answer. If I had to classify myself, I'd use the term "nihilist" - the belief that nothing is worth being passionate about; that everything is pointless. When I look up to stars at night, and I realize how little of this universe I am... It's hopelessly depressing. I'm not under any physical hardship, and I've been given more in my first 19 years of life than most people will ever have. Despite everything being in my favor on the surface, I am slowly deteriorating from the inside.

I wish I could get people to see what I see - the complexity of my worldview has become so convoluted through the hours I've spent trying to find some sort of reasonable explanation for action that I'm effectively paralyzed. I've tried to render myself helpless to the world - to allow disclosure of its secrets - but now I want no part of it.

I feel inhuman. It's like I'm more of an observer, simply peering through the window of my body rather than residing in it.

If any of you have some advice for me, I'd like to hear it.

I recommend you masturbate... It helps me with my depression...

OT: Yeah, I've felt like an observer, hence the name Mournful Crow. Crows observe, etc. etc. It's sort of like you don't really belong here, but you're stuck here any way. You don't know what to do with yourself, and you feel relatively useless with yourself.

The first thing you need to get is: the world is a dark, complex place, filled with more questions than answers. Life's gonna suck, and if you take it from me, it's better to observe the world than be a direct part in it. The world needs its observers, and as one, I've taken to writing out what I see. Drawing it out is a lot more fun for me, but I do both, depending on what fancies me. I also masturbate, but that's another thing entirely...

Just get a pencil and some paper, and start hacking away at the pages. It doesn't matter what you put on there, it doesn't even have to be any certain pattern. Just hack away at it like a wild chimp! Then review your work, and see what it looks like. Then sharpen the pencil, grab some more paper, wash, rinse, repeat. You never know where it'll take you.

The way I see it is.

We are only here for a very small time, make the most of it.

This is the best answer in my opinion. I modified the quote to be more optimistic.
