I don't need things to mean something. They simply are. And staring into the void, looking for meaning will, like Nietszche said, have the void stare into you

Coming soon, why we have no free will (nope, none. and I am fine with this)

I know most people are uncomfortable with real existential questioning. But facing the truth, Truth if you will, gives me strength. The universe does not need me or want me. Or not not want me, to be fair.

Little things, like I did not exist for a long time, then I was born, then every five years or so every single atom in my body us replaced and, when I die, every single atom will be re-used and I will not exist again, ever

The default is non-existence so having even a short time to think, to feel, even if it is kind of crappy, makes me feel privileged
