Thank you! Yeah, I find it easier to write when I’m down too. That is probably why much of my stuff is darker or slightly depressing lol.

I don’t know if you’re not knowing matters. š
I think this is more akin to skepticism than nihilism. A nihilist would assert, make a positive claim that, nothing matters.
Cool post, though.

Thanks ā„ Yeah, I am definitely a skeptic (some would say cynic) too, at least at times.

I thought these things were self-evident actually, lol. Nothing objectively matters, but we understand that we have to create meaning for everything. It’s simultaneously meaningless and meaningful, and holding those two truths in mind is ok, in fact a necessary part of humility.
