Life Is Kind of Meaningless

I don’t know about your life, but life is really meaningless. You go to elementary school, make friends, graduate, go to middle school, make friends, graduate, go to high school, make friends, go through puberty, find new ideas and ideologies, make them part of your personality, pick up some hobbies, graduate from high school, maybe go to college, maybe graduate from college, get a job, maybe get a wife, maybe get married, maybe have children, grow old, retire, and finally die. All this hard work only to lose it all. Maybe you won’t even get that far, maybe you’ll commit suicide or get a terminal illness before any of this happens. Or maybe you won’t, because most of us fatasses are sitting on our phones and computers watching porn (probably a 70% chance) or bumming around in some shitty game where all you do is sit and profit, and the only job you’ll ever have is as a cashier. I don’t hate people who have a life. What I want to say is that you lose all your progress in the end. And don’t be discouraged by what I said above. Even if everything seems meaningless, it’s important that you can put meaning into it. Even if everything is gone, the moments you make become more valuable, not valueless.

You might be in a situation you didn’t dream of. You might end up as a cashier or something like that. But along the way, there’s music to listen to, books to read, ideas to think about, jokes to laugh at, people to love, people to lose, and new people to meet. You don’t get to keep any of it permanently, but you get to have it for a while. And sometimes, that’s just enough.

You can treat life like a game you can’t win, or you can treat it like a story. That won’t erase the feeling of emptiness and uncertainty that creeps in randomly and scares the shit out of you. But it does mean you get a choice to make your life less meaningless.

And if we lose it all in the end, that’s what makes it human, and it makes it fragile. And maybe that’s what makes it worth doing anyway.

Sorry if this was deep as shit LOL. 10 PM thoughts kicked in.
