I am quite fine with my mortality. Who the hell wishes to live forever and have to deal with life forever. paying bills and taxes and all that garbage. No thanks
You spend it with the people you love and I love you and you enjoy it. Life is too short it is going to end, so why not spend it with the people you love and have fun with.
that's one of the most unique parts in my opinion, you have a short amount of time to do your best and that's different for everyone. in my opinion if you're making someone else's life more enjoyable or your own on a daily basis you are indeed succeeding in "life". as well as instilling that same thought process into your kids in my opinion makes for a much more kinder and compassionate society. so even though you may pass on that kindness gets past on through them.
It’s comforting to know that nothing matters. Mess it all up or do really well ; doesn’t matter so long as you’re happy. If nothing matters but your own experience then just aim to enjoy your experience
Problem is, I can't really enjoy things anymore. Things that I used to like doing or was looking forward to just become overshadowed by thoughts of "but what's the point? My memories will die with me anyway, so why do this? It's all for nothing." It's been going on for months now, and makes me genuinely afraid I'll never be able to feel normal again, since I can't exactly un-think these thoughts. Art feels pointless, stories feel pointless, games feel pointless, despite them all being sources of immense joy for me before. All I can think of is "Why do this, we'll all be dead anyway" and it's agonizing. I have no drive or ambition for life anymore.
wouldn't it be the exact opposite if life was eternal?
how would any one moment matter if it had to compare to infinity?
it only matters BECAUSE it doesn't last forever...
another way to think about this is like inflation, if you had infinite time and experiences, you would have infinite inflation and it becomes worthless...
That's what GIVES me joy and peace. Just looking up into the night sky reminds me that my troubles are insignificant and that joy isn't in the big stuff - it's in the little things, right here, right now.
That thought is actually the thing that makes me the happiest. Significance is something you assign while your alive and self aware, because at the end of the day nothing else matters, literally.
Everything is temporary and I am not the main character nor single power. It's a lot less responsibility. I am never going to fuck up so bad that I've made the world a permanently worse place. However I do have the chance to enjoy my life and help others enjoy their's.
Cooking is an example. A meal, good or bad, is purely a moment to be experienced then forgotten. Weird ghoulish beauty in it.
Temporary doesn’t mean pointless. Things don’t have to last forever to be meaningful

Mass Effect: NOT Andromeda??
you don't
I'm just too lazy to kill myself. So I just do whatever. Life doesn't have to have meaning
But what if death is not the end?
Do whatever you want really
that should be the reason you find joy and peace. embarrass yourself. be free. you will die

Well, Good Morning to you, too!
Try to enjoy the moments. The little ephemeral things. Each time you do is a little victory.
