I'm a nihilist. Not the kind of sad, self-pitying nihilist who spends all day wallowing in how meaningless life is, but the kind who uses that meaningless to not give a shit and live the life I want to live. When I was a kid I always wanted to make a name for myself and do great things. I thought if I didn't then everybody would forget about me after I died and my life would have amounted to nothing. I've reversed that into the fact that since everybody will die anyway and in a thousand years we wont remember who invented the automobile or who had the most twitter followers then why worry with purpose. Realizing I don't NEED purpose in my life was the most freeing feeling. People don't really get that and think I'm wasting my life pursuing my "stupid dreams" that don't lead me to the common ideas of success but I feel that they're really the ones who are stuck.
That sounds super pseudo-intelligent and I'm sure I'm coming across as being stuck up my own ass, but I totally am. Basically, I just want to live every day with a smile on my face and I generally get to do that because I don't give a shit about long term consequences.
