Nihil as in Nihilistic existentialism? A view similar to my own. Of course the decision lies entirely with you. Every decision lies within you and with no other outside force (though outside forces can at times influence, we decide, and no one else).
I suppose what I'm going through could be described accurately as an existential crisis. I've accepted that there is no meaning, rhyme, or reason to all in life even if it comes back and hits me now and again in a more direct manner. I do not question this fact anymore. If any form of a significant event were to have set this off, it could only be my loss of religion; I have always, however been much the introvert, analyzing and remembering all I see, so introversion is nothing new to me, simply what I find now as compared to 4 or 5 months ago.

I much appreciate the company of someone else who believes there is no purpose. If you yourself are not plagues with suicidal thoughts, you may be the greatest help of all to me at this time.
