like Iâm by no means a nihilist, but I donât think anything in life has a set meaning. you give things purpose, You do that, because you think they deserve purpose. some ppl are raised in families where theyâre told that college is the Meaning, that marriage is the Meaning, and if thatâs how u feel then own that. but I think the scary thing about growing up is that you start to realize you have to carve ur own meanings out of ur life instead of just leaning on ur parents and the things youâve been told. my meaning is happiness, feeling it and giving it to others. whatever that entails. but nothing has meaning until u give it meaning. and thatâs comforting to me.
