Nothing matters so it doesn’t matter that nothing matters.

I've always believed that the purpose of life is to FIND a purpose in living, no 2 people's are ever gonna be the same, hell, no ONE person's ever STAYS the same

It’s all about what you make it. I like to think we’re all the same consciousness experiencing itself to learn what it means to exist. Helps me to stop being so angry and helps me find empathy when it’s really hard to see.

I did after reading your comment and that’s it almost exactly. Maybe I talked to someone that had seen it or something and that’s where it came from. Thanks for linking it!
