Is life just an endless grind until you finally die?

[Anonymous]

I swear life has just been working needless jobs just to survive and for what? To live? To reproduce? I have a love life that is dull and no friends. Maybe it's because of my pessimistic attitude but that's just who I am. If the only meaning of human life is to reproduce and create more tortured souls I say fuck it. I'm tearing away from this shit. I'm done working the grind. I always found sleep the best thing in life. Well I hear it's the best thing in death. Any reason to disagree?

Well... I understand where you're coming from. Personally, I tend to overthink this topic. What is the point of anything? Why does anything matter? But then I took a walk outside at 2am and sat on a bench. I stared at the sky for about 30 minutes when the sprinkler next to me squelched out of the ground and started spraying the grass. I watched that and thought for a bit. Then I thought to myself. "Sure, life can be pointless, but life is what you make it." and if you feel you have nothing then make something from nothing. People are amazing like that. The only person that can save you from yourself is yourself. The bottom line is that yeah, life is pointless, but that doesn't mean you can't give it purpose.

life is amazing OK. I've had depression I know it's easy to say life is pointless but now I'm out of it great. find a project to work that you enjoy. save up and travel. find something you want to. even if it's highly unlikely that you'll achieve it, go for it you'll never get it if you don't try. you are one single person in a tiny section of earth's history nobody will remember you SO GO AND DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT. if someone says it's pointless, say Fuck you I'm doing it it's my life I'm only here for a short while so I'm going to do what I want. find that thing you wanna do and fucking do it.

Great advice, I just don't know how to do what I want

[christopher99]
