I found this great reddit post a while back, quoting it here.

Quote

Big secret they never tell you as a kid: there really is nothing to live for except life itself. We all die. Even this planet will one day die and be erased by the Universe. All we have is this one life. So you got no degree? So fucking what? Want to know something.. who is the most famous person in history? Julius Caesar? Jesus Christ? Fuck.. I don't know pick one. Even THEY will be forgotten one day when the Sun swallows the Earth in approx 5 billion years. And probably they will be forgotten a lot before then. Big ego motherfuckers like George W. Bush or Donald Trump or whomever thinks they are so fucking important fool themselves. We are all utterly unimportant and all of it is quite pointless. Noone really cares and nothing really matters. But that's comforting!

All we have are moments. Eat a bagel or a donut or a steak. Sip some tea or coffee or wine or whatever it is you like. Listen to music. Make love. Go for a walk. Read reddit. Tell a joke or listen to a joke. Have a conversation or eavesdrop on another's conversation. Take a shit. Take a shower. Drink some cold water on a hot day or some hot cocoa on a cold day when it's snowing outside. Embrace your dog. Walk into a bakery and smell the fresh bread. Go see a movie you like. That's life. That's all we got. Individual moments we enjoy. ALL of us. There really is nothing else. Sure, ambition is cool and all.. but really the most ambitious motherfuckers out there are just as miserable or happy as they decide to be. Degree or bank account or hot wife or not.

If you feel lonely -- fuck -- we ALL do. Go out and meet some other sad sorry lonely soul and make them feel less lonely by being around them. We will all die anyway. Just write your own story in the meantime between now and then. Even if it just consists of waking up every day and eating a fine breakfast -- hell, that's pretty interesting compared to the endless infinity that is non-existence and that awaits us all. So enjoy life. Even if you think you aren't. Enjoy it anyway. It's all we got and it's brief and utterly pointless. Enjoy it!

You may find this comforting, or not, but it comforts me a lot, that everything doesn't matter at all.

Thank you for sharing that. It says a lot of things in a few words. So true. Live, love, enjoy life!
