Everyone tells you “Life is too short” or perhaps to “Live in the moment”, but I doubt that with how much, in our lives, is dominated by the shadows of our past and the notions of our future that we can or that we know what that actually is. Maybe its all about learning to move and negotiate with those parameters to learn what the moment actually brings.
“For the moment,” thats the challenge.
Do not TRY to “find yourself” –you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, “This is who I make myself”.
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, “Fuck You!”. Remember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own. Live deliberately. You are free
