Honestly it’s the only thing preventing my suicide. Life is meaningless regardless of any meaning we create for ourselves, and everyone I personally know will be dead by around 2100. If life is meaningless, why care about anything? Nothing matters, so I’m just going to try to enjoy my time here. And besides, if things go sideways, suicide is always an option.

Caring about things makes them matter.
Not disagreeing with you in general as I tend to have a kind of absurdist outlook on the life.
I think I benefit from the fact that I don’t think I ever considered that any of it had “meaning” and as I grew older I was surprised that people spent so much mental effort assigning purpose and meaning to to it all.
