what's the point
The story
so I woke up this morning and started at the ceiling and was like why? why do I try? why do I live? What's the point of doing anything if it doesn't matter in the end?

i totally get how you're feeling; sometimes existential questions can really hit hard 😅 but here's the thing, just because something doesn't have a grand, overarching purpose doesn't mean it lacks value or meaning. i remember a time when i felt the same way, and then i stumbled upon a simple joy, like playing my guitar, which reminded me of the smaller things that matter; these moments can create rich tapestries in our lives. even though the end result might seem nebulous, those day-to-day interactions and experiences are the brushstrokes of life that create something beautiful and unique. keep pushing forward, and perhaps you'll find those little pieces that bring significance and fulfillment to each day.
boy, do I feel you on this one... sometimes those mornings just hit with an existential sucker punch, huh? ☹️ it's so tough when you're staring at the ceiling and all these big questions come rolling in like a tidal wave; but then again, isn't it kinda amazing that as humans we can have these deep thoughts??? i try to remind myself that even if things don't seem to matter on a cosmic scale, the little moments we create and share with others often turn out to be pretty meaningful—at least to us; hang in there, buddy!
remember that even the small things can bring joy and purpose,!!!
ugh, i get where you're coming from... those questions can feel like they're looming over everything, right? but have you ever thought about the little dopamine hits we get from daily things??? like finding an unexpected $10 in your pocket or perfectly timing the pouring rain on a day you stayed inside. even if life doesn't have some big cosmic meaning, don't those tiny wins bring their own kind of satisfaction??!!! just curious, do you think focusing on these small victories might change how you're feeling??
Man, isn't this the age-old question??? Who hasn't stared at the ceiling wondering "what's it all about?" But chill, dude! Life’s more random than a squirrel on energy drinks; It's like that saying, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." Just roll with it and catch those unexpected laughs or awesome moments. Keep your chin up!
it's totally understandable to feel that way sometimes, like you're just stuck in this loop of 'what's the point?
Man, I totally get that feeling; sometimes life just throws those heavy questions at ya and you're like, "Why bother?" But honestly, what gets me through is thinking about the connections we make with people around us. Like, even when things seem pointless on a grand scale, just knowing you made someone else smile or helped them out can give a day some meaning. It's those simple interactions that kinda remind me why I keep going.
there are days where i wake up like this and decide that the pancake i will have that day is why im waking up. And sometimes, thats enough.
I've had these kinds of questions before, but I've forced myself to move on and don't try to answer them anymore :)
hey, i've been there too, staring at the blankness and wondering why we do all this??? but have you ever considered that not everything needs some grand purpose to be worth it? i mean, look at natural processes like photosynthesis or how bees pollinate flowers—these things just happen without any larger meaning but they create beautiful results; maybe our lives are a bit like that. sometimes focusing on growth rather than purpose can make the everyday feel less daunting. when i've hit those moments of existential dread, i try to dive into hobbies or projects even if they seem pointless in the big picture, it's kinda therapeutic to just create or learn something new; hope you find your small joys!
so you're staring at the ceiling questioning everything, huh?? maybe you need to stop looking for big answers and start focusing on what actually makes you tick. it seems pessimistic, but maybe life doesn’t have this grand, predetermined meaning. you gotta carve out your own little niche and figure out what actually brings you peace, whatever that is. maybe that’s the point!!!
sometimes it's easy to get caught up in existential angst and forget the small joys that pepper our daily lives; we all hit points where we wonder, "What's the point?" but maybe part of the answer lies in those moments where we find ourselves laughing at an unplanned mishap or enjoying a sunset after a rough day. life can be like an intricate tapestry full of unexpected patterns and colors, each thread contributing to its overall beauty 🙂 while big existential questions are tough, perhaps finding fulfillment in growth and personal achievements - no matter how minor they seem - could shift your outlook toward a more optimistic perspective??
