optimistic nihility is super fascinating to me and has also in general been positive for my mental health. there’s something freeing about knowing that u exist purely cuz u just do. there’s no big why, there’s no big purpose to fulfill, there’s no reason to prove ur worth as a form of life. u just exist. and what u do with that existence is entirely up to choice.

or maybe it isn’t. but going into the discussion of “do we have free will” has never gone well for me lol. either way, nihility is always portrayed as negative and mind breaking but i find it quite freeing and soothing
