This is how I’ve made sense of the world… Nothing actually matters so I get to choose what matters to me.

Oh for sure - I’ve been calling myself an Absurdist for years. It just fits and makes the most sense to me.

nothing really matters, that’s what gives our presence meaning. there is no grand score keeping, which makes things like kindness all the more meaningful.

when nothing matters, how we live and express ourselves becomes even more meaningful.

I said this at work, and my boss was not happy. Maybe don’t spend 30 years at the same job pretending you’re changing the world?

I work in a career where some folks can really drink the coolaid… But, like, we’re not really changing anything? At all.

But who cares? It is what it is - do the job, get paid, go home and do something fun.
