yeah yeah, good afterlife or whatever, what about here? what about laying in the dirt and grass with the sun in your eyes? what about old library books with yellowed pages? what about food that’s made the same wrong way your family does? what about people with unique birthmarks and weird smiles and messy hair that’s so endearing? what about bandaids and scars with funny stories behind them? what about laughing at typos and glitches? what about smiling until your face hurts? what about sunsets with trees or buildings in the way that make crisp silhouettes against the colors? what about falling in love with imperfection over and over and over?

I know I Usually just post art but, here are some media that have made me feel things over the years that all have some fairly similar themes.

Dismayed by the search for Deeper Meaning?

Consider trying:

✨ Nihilistic Optimism ✨

Nothing Matters!

Everything is Temporary!

You Create Your Own Fate!

It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear, on the contrary, that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning. Living an experience, a particular fate, is accepting it fully.

learning abt anatomy in college biology is so great cause. gender roles really don't mean anything. sexual dimorphism is fundamentally meaningless. the reproductive systems are just organ systems they have zero meaning. biology is inherently without meaning by nature i love it. do what u want be what u want and be happy bc our brains r what invented the concept of meaning. xoxoxo

#gnc cis woman unlocks deeper understanding of gender every day from reading her biology textbook more at 7 #biology hates gender roles and traditional gender binary biology loves trans people #biology loves my extremely lesbian brain #biology loves my neurodivergency #it doesn't CARE it doesn't mean anything its fundamentally meaningless #optimistic nihilism #buggie's nerd stuff

life has no true purpose, you can individually design yours with whatever the fuck gives it a meaning. if there is nothing you can think of right now then go and find something. there are endless possibillities. explore. try things. suck at them and try again. or don't. be brave enough to trust your intuition. fuck everybodys opinion because they literally don't matter. do what makes you happy. have fun. be irresponsible. be selfish. kiss who you want. be your best self. go to new places. take risks. meet strangers and befriend whoever feels good to be around. don't ever talk again to people who make you feel bad. no need to explain yourself to others. never give up on growing and trying out new things. be persistent and do whatever it takes to realise your hearts desires. make your own rules. but be smart and protect yourself. jump off a cliff if you want to but don't jump withouth a safety rope - you get what i mean. be kind, accept others how they are and fuck society's norms. be a good human being simply because you can. not to go to heaven. there is no heaven. there is also no hell. there is no right and no wrong in the way you live your life. that's what life is for. to simply be alive and have a good fucking time while you're here. however that looks for you.

I fucking love optimistic nihilism.

Yeah, life is meaningless, existence is pointless, we are simply a insegnifigent speck in the grand scheme of the universe, our world is burning. So stop caring about it so much. Enjoy what you have! Indulge in the good parts! Be a good person! We're all gonna die so have some fucking fun!

#genuinely this is my personal philosophy for life #life doesn't fucking matter so enjoy it while it lasts #optimistic #optimist #nihilism #nihilist #optimistic nihilism #absurdism #absurdist #mine #me #textpost #text

based off of talking to some friends and sort of. coming to wonder, im curious about autistic people and "optimistic nihilism" or "whimsical nihilism" as i call it. but i'm curious if because of a lack of empathy or increased apathy, autistic people can waver towards a sense of optimistic nihilism. i can fully acknowledge from a realist and/or scientific perspective that there is no "point" to the earth existing. there's no real "point" to anything. but i've been told by friends that i appreciate beauty and humanity to a very high degree. i am not afraid to openly hate and dislike things, but at the same time i am constantly in awe of "regular" things, a trait that came to me more as i started learning to unmask. basically, gearing one's sense of care towards more things of personal value and developing a "meaningless" or careless outlook on certain things. this could also be looking at things very literally and developing a more realist perspective, one that does not mince bad things, and at the same time, acknowledges things like scientific processes, evolution, culture, and whatnot and finds admiration in it.

to quote myself,

"i feel silly when i try to explain being pessimistic and nihilistic while being very whimsical but i have a very nonchalant/careless outlook on a Lot of things!!!!! yes i Care and i care passionately but sometimes you learn to care from not caring!!! you disregard stuff you dont Need to care about and you have more care to give to the things and people you love!!!!!!"

and,

"LIKE. i dont have to care and i really Dont im gonna be blunt about it!!!! but i am Passionate!!!"

i personally call myself a pessimistic nihilist because my sense of admiration and wonder comes from being literal and realistic, not from disregarding negative outlooks or bad things, i'm still very pessimistic, but ive grown to become a little more hopeful without letting hope be a deluding or optimistic factor. but i'm curious about you!

be respectful of other philosophies if you interact, please!

(please note; while nihilism does reject religion, anti-theism is NOT something i welcome. i have a special interest in world religion and i am not looking for people to use this to bash and denounce religion. i personally am an ex-christian and despite leaving christianity and having ill feelings towards it,i do not want disrespect of any religion to come from this. if anything i would love to hear how different autistic religious people view these outlooks, and their autism!)

Some ramblings I came up with while thinking about the best faction in D&D’s Planescape: The Bleak Cabal!

If nothing holds meaning, then pain serves no purpose. It doesn’t teach, it doesn’t punish, it doesn’t spur growth or change or redemption. It’s just pain. It just hurts. With no reason to, it just hurts…

So why not try to soothe them? why would you want people to hurt?
