As a nihilist I'm rather averse to the idea that life has any meaning, the fear of death is enough to keep me going and that's all I'll ever need.
Is everyone on these forums Nihilistic?

Well, "God is dead" I guess...(and we killed Him).

I live for music. I want to perform professionally one day before then teaching others music, but that I can say without a shred of doubt is what I am here for. To make music.

My fantastic girlfriend; with her, I really do feel emotionally complete, and that I'm making the most of my brief time as a largely anonymous organism on a desolate rock in space.

Nothing. Until I fell in love with a girl. Then nothing again and I'm trying to make do with it.
That is singularly depressing.

While I don't know if you want congratulations about the kid on the way, here it is! CONGRATS!

For me: My girlfriend really gives my life meaning. I'm so happy I have her~

trying to show people the ideas in my head... that and love.

Luckily both of those are slowly being fulfilled...

I love being a creative mind.

Nothing. But I feel like dying is pretty bad. So I am kinda out of options.

My creativity.

I live happily with the hope that I can one day give, through the gaming medium, the same kind of joy and wonder those who made my childhood games gave me.

Achievement...I want to do something meaningful.

However, and I don't like to sound like a 12 year old, I've been facing disappointment and soul crushing failure so far. At some point you realize you aren't that smart, in fact you are quite dumb, then you realize your skills are inferior to so many people it's laughable and after that you see those who achieve what you are doing with seemingly no effort.

Still trying to do something though, optimism is the key I guess.

Life needs meaning? huh...

What gets me out of bed is the hope that I can have some fun today. My life's goal is to enjoy myself as much as I can in my lifetime, and help those I care about enjoy it too. If I'm not dong something necessary for survival (work, school, etc), then I am trying to have fun. Whether it's videogames, chatting with friends or cuddling with my special one...I'm trying to squeeze in as much happiness as possible.

Having fun!

I enjoy life, sure not every second of every day, but at least at some point every day I'm enjoying myself.

I pit this down to a good girlfriend, good friends and a good out look on all things.
This guy knows where it's AT! XD

Being a musician has at least given me something to work on, and I've enjoyed it very much.

I'm pretty sure that finding a mate and starting my own family is a big deal to me, though. That might be part of the reason I'm taking the breakup so hard. I approve of your genes, dammit!

The things that give meaning to my life are my girlfriend, writing, the few friends that I have, and my immediate family.

I have to say that my girlfriend is the most important to me, though. I know that if anything ever happens between us [my girlfriend and me] my family will support me through it, but she makes me actually feel like living.

Oh, and the thought that one day I'll be a teacher.

My boyfriend.
I recently found this out because he is jail at the moment and I have no idea when he is coming home. I just feel broken in half since he has left.

and Batman. *daydreams*

As well as me being extremely scared/perplexed by the thought of death, there's a lot of interesting things to be known, so I guess I'll always be wanting to learn as long as I live. (I love science)

You too!!

I never was able to understand why people go through life miserable.

My girlfriend, my friends, college and work all wreck my head at some point or another, but not nearly as much as the enjoyment and FUN they give me.

If something, or someone is consistently wrecking your head and getting you down, get it, them, out of your life!

This is not a dress rehearsal, this is it!
